Deep saturated purple--the legs hold their color. Nose of peppercorn, smoke, tobacco leaf, graphite. Sweet dark fruit and some oak, leather and char.

Delicious but the dominant flavour here is oak. Secondary to the oak is black fruit and in the background is the green/pyrazines.

Top of my list. Super consistent all years. Awesome complex long finish, a bit strong in flavour so try it with strong matching foods like a good roast or a marinated BBQ. If you like flavoursome reds, this Chilean classic will also become one of your favourites.
