This Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend is starting to drink nicely now. Elegant and nicely balanced, but still feels very tight.

Earthy with nice complexity, and very Left Bank Bordeaux in style.

Still very young and not as approachable. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
