A typical Maipo red, but untypically it’s made from six grapes led by Cabernet Sauvignon. Smells mossy and of tobacco, olive, dried herbs and black fruits. Rich in the mouth except for a streak of acidity, with oaky flavors of vanilla, tobacco, stewed plum and berry. Finishes with coconut and power. ——M.S.(4/1/2012)—— 88

The 2007 Gran Reserva Blend is medium purple in color with an excellent bouquet of toasty oak, pencil lead, scorched earth, Asian spices, black cherry, and blackberry. Firm on the palate, with plenty of ripe tannin and the fruit to match, this full-flavored effort will benefit from another 3-4 years of bottle age and drink well through 2019.

The 2006 Gran Reserva Blend contains Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Purple-colored, the nose reveals some new oak, spice cabinet, leather, blackcurrant, and blackberry. Elegant on the palate with good intensity and grip, it should round out with another 2-3 years in the bottle and be at its best from 2012 to 2021.
