About the Wine: This is a blend of Malbec and Carmenere. Technically that is a Bordeaux blend, though both of those varietals are have fallen out of favor in Bordeaux. Some people remember relatives' birthdays. I remember stuff like that.
About THIS Wine: It is a very dense red in the glass with an almost neon rim. The nose is big, even for a Chilean red. There is a lot of fruit and spice jumping out of the glass. The palate delivers what the nose promises. This is a beast of wine in the best way. There is good tannin structure. The finish is a little short after the big palate.
Drinking This Wine: This is a steak wine all day.
Overall Impression: A good, lingering finish would elevate this wine to the next level. Because it does not have it, I will say that the wine is reasonable for the price.
