2014: 100 JS | #5 James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of 2017
This was the first 100-point wine from here with such aromas of fresh herbs and dark berry and floral undertones. Hot stone character. Full body very linear and ultra-fine tannins. The precision and perfection here is impressive as it has always been. A blend of carmenere cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Drink or hold. - James Suckling
2015: 100 JS | #5 James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of 2018
There is a subtle complexity on the nose with currant berry fresh herb and wet earth aromas. Cut fresh flowers too. Full body dense and powerful. Incredible character here with such purity and polish. It goes on for minutes. Formed sculptured yet soulful. A monumental wine for Chile. Unbelievable. More powerful than the 2014 which was 100 points. A blend of 46% carmenere 30% cabernet sauvignon 19% merlot and 5% cabernet franc. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Better in 2022. - James Suckling
2017: 100 JS | #10 James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of 2020
What a stunning nose of crushed berries fresh flowers sandalwood and light vineyard dust. Black olives too. Very complex. Full-bodied with a beautiful dense palate of blackberries chocolate walnuts and cigar box. Fantastic length and composure. The tannin just rolls over the palate. Very structured. The most classically structured wine ever from here. Goes on for minutes. Outrageous and so polished. A blend of 48% carmenere 26% cabernet sauvignon 25% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Try after 2025. - James Suckling
