2012. This wine is iconic for a reason. It truly expresses Carmenere and Chile while offering so much round oak on the nose and palate it takes the super belle pepper black currant thing. I'm all in.

Another great wine from Chile. Crimson red with aromas ripe red and black fruits and floral notes. On the palate this wine shows strawberry, blackberry and blueberry flavors with cinnamon spice and black pepper. A blend of 92% carmenere and 8% petit verdot, this wine had a long and silky finish with smooth tannins and ended with cacao notes.

18/20 (94/100)

Кофейные нотки, черемуха, черная смородина, интенсивно, богато. Очень полный вкус, ягоды горстями, отличный полный вкус, великолепно оформленные готовые танины. Прекрасное мощное вино, насыщенное, яркое, богатое и очень впечатляющее.

Rich & smooth with a great finish. Let it breathe for 30-40 minutes and enjoy.

2012 Purple Angel. Camenere grapes surround your taste buds as if you’re standing in a field of violets. A gem that requires the delicate hand of the jeweler to coax out the layers of flavors, blue & black berries fresh picked from the vine along with hints of vanilla bean & dark chocolate.
Silence is deafening, required & golden.
Shhh, be quiet, come a little closer. 🤫

Amazing. So so good. Big blackberry, blue berry, and chocolate flavors. Creamy full body wine with smooth velvety tannins.
