Tasting note
A beautiful red with ripe fruit, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Full body, round tannins. Delicious finish. Drink now. Score - 92. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, May 12, 2016)
Deep ruby red with purple notes. Red and Black fruit with graffito notes. Voluptuous mouth, velvety, round with tension and nerve in all its extension.
September Insider Pick by Stephen Schiedel, Portfolio Manager for Wines of North and South America. As Napa Valley aligns to Cabernet Sauvignon so well, Chile's Maipo Valley does the same and at distinct value for the price. Here is a textbook example from the Intriga estate that offers powerful fruit character and some Maipo texture and taste. Is drinkable now or you can put in your cellar for a few years. Black and red fruits are combined with touches of well integrated oak and a spicy and balsamic finish. This wine is complex, deep and potently rich in texture with layers of black cherry and red fruit surrounded by elegant toasted oak. Pair it with a braised rack of lamb or filet mignon.
