Trim and focused, with dried currant and black cherry fruit framed by cedar and mineral notes. Shows maturity, but still has a nice core of fruit that lingers on the finish. For fans of the understated style. Drink now through 2005. 12,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.??–JM??Region: Chile / Central Valley-Chile / Curicó / Molina Select to Add

Mature, with notes of raisin, leather and tree bark. For an aged reserve-level Chilean Cab, it impresses. The palate still holds some cedary notes, but there’s depth and nuance and fruit as well. A serious wine with warmth, structure and just enough sly fruit to earn its mark.——M.S.(2/1/2005)—— 90
