This was a nice surprise. Delectable has it in Spain, but it is middle of Chile. Cannot believe this is just $23?! 8 years old, 200-year-old single vineyard in Maule. Unreal. Almonds and fresh herbs with a wonderful balance. Has a wild, untamed feel to it. Exciting!

Unique. Probably a love or hate wine. I love it. Strong anise and sage on the nose. Body delivers the same with added tart cherry. Violet / dried flowers abound.
