Elegant at the same time powerful with very good level of soft tannins. Intense dark red colour. The wine has structure, power and a very well defined character. The 5% of Petit Verdot is adding an extra element of complexity. There is an pleasant and harmonious marriage of fruit and the French oak with a delightfull long finish. The structure of this wine will keep it for at least 20 years.

Wine Spectator An alluring nose of Kenya AA coffee and bittersweet cocoa, with polished, racy notes of black currant, fig and loam on the palate. The long, fine-grained finish has a nice minerally spine. Not as dense as the 2003, but with better integration. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2012. Score: 94. —James Molesworth, May 15, 2007.

Wine Enthusiast A world-class wine from Chile? It has been for almost a decade, but now that it’s pushing $100 we are looking at it quite critically. In 2004 the wine shows strong oak and some sweet creaminess, and in the mouth it’s loaded with black plum and blackberry pie flavors. Finishes layered and deep, with chocolate and mocha. Score: 92. —Michael Schachner, September 01, 2007.
