This Chilean Cabernet is drinkable now, but needs a year in the bottle to mature. Not fully balanced with mild complexity. Spicy with a nice mouthfeel. A good everyday red wine from Chile.
Needs an hour to open up properly and show some tannins. Good by itself and better with food. I paired it with soft and hard cheeses and light appetizers.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
85 points.
$9.
