I’m a real fan of @vik_wine since trying the 2011 so have been keen to try the 2012 @ £100 & it sure is another winner from 🇨🇱 Drinking superb now & will improve 👍 If you like a big bold but well balanced wine you will love this 😉

📍 Vina VIK 2012

🏵 95-96 points (I’m bemused why pro critics say 91-92 🤔 flopdoodles)

💥 14% ABV

🍇 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Carménère, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot & 2% Syrah

🍷 Opaque deep blackened ruby

👃 A heady nose of rich ripe blackcurrant, damson plum & blueberry bathed in cocoa w/ sweet date jam, minerals, soggy earth, cracked pencil, vanilla, raspberry, black cherry, violet, soft oak & balsamic

👄 Med+ bodied rich creamy opulent blackcurrant jam, raspberry compote & cocoa cream w/ balsamic, minerals, black cherry & spiced blackberry

🎯 Long explosion of plump bursting dark fruits w/ a raspberry, big bold blueberry & cocoa mineral slap staining your teeth purple 😈

💭 If the 2013 of this wine is at the level Sena 13 was at it could be an epic buy on release as it will be stratoswinic 😍

@Mike Rowe @David A Lentine @Ron R @Kirk Alexander I lied before when I said the Sena was the only bargain bang for the buck that we enjoyed tonight. This wine is s rockstar for its price point. I call it my baby Vega! It's an awesome wine which did a great job at highlighting the strengths of every other wine that was enjoyed tonight. Believe me., it's a kickass bottle of wine but it was unfortunately overshadowed by its peers. I own 18 of these., so you know I like it! Next time., I won't open it next to 3 100 point bottles!!
Whoops., my bad! Lol — 9 years ago

On a Chile night when the budget won’t stretch to Almaviva or Sena, then this will do nicely. Plenty of rich fruit and complexity, with some tannin structure and a dry but flavoursome finish. 2016 produced a lot of Bordeaux like reds in Chile, I have tasted some very enjoyable stuff from that vintage. — 6 years ago

Xmas 2018 bottle 3/4. Nose is subdued. Taste is like perfume. Marzipan and lollies. Very chalky and flowery. Unique and complex taste. A slight same flowery like sena 2007. In the decanter it is very ruby red with lots of sediments and complex nose — 7 years ago

@Mike Rowe @David A Lentine @Kirk Alexander @Ron R In my opinion., this was the 2nd place finisher in tonight's lineup. I Decanted all of the bottles with the exception of the Sena at 3pm. They all had 5+ hours to spread their wings and amaze us. This one certainly did. Massive and wound really tight at 3pm BUT it was flying as gracefully as a Monarch butterfly at 8pm. Awesome., awesome wine. Incredible producer. It Paired perfectly with Christine's homemade spaghetti sauce. — 9 years ago

Bachelor nite. Partner to europe for eork. Long cork. Nose was excellent compare to the palate. Not of dark black fruit and liquorice. Overall vegetal note of herbs and cabage. Spice and ruhurb and some eculyptus and tobacco. The after note was slightly bitter and sharp. Hint of chocolate and chaulky minerality. Nose do have the soy sauce smell. Nose has some similarity to chile sena. Later the wine more floral. — 6 years ago

Suppose to be quite a famous sicily producer. Dark brick red and the smell is floral, spicy, fresh. Complex with an array of elements that can trace back to a volcanic features - mineral, wet stones, blackcurrent and dark fruit. A bit of chewing gum taste and balance. Very good and similar feel like the sena 2007 just slightly tone down. Fri night with partner out at her xmas party and me watching a wednesday. Savoury bitter sweet. Firery flower bouquet. Can feel the terrior n the place. Iodine trace, olive and tar. Licorice, balsamic and herbs — 7 years ago

The wine still shows what we loved about being in partnership with Eduardo. Great vineyards and beautiful wine. — 8 years ago

Fantastic Alsatian blend from Elk Cove. Ripe, fruity peach aromas with rich mineral notes. Juicy and fruity on the palate with big, bracing acidity. The fruitiness almost leads to a hint of sweetness. Beautiful, long, lingering finish. — 11 years ago

Friend, mentor and winemaker Tony Coltrin made this. The wine has all my classic favorite profiles beginning with fruit and textures with balanced oak. Sena was always great when Tony was involved. Not certain how the last 10 years have developed for the winery. — 12 years ago
