This is very nice example of Pinot Noir from cool climate Casablanca valley in Chile, it has stunning color, very nice expressive nose and quite good flavor profile, where acidity and juiciness is nicely combined with hint of wood, which is not at all dominant. Excellent bottle maturity, will improve in 1 year, it still has stunning acidity and gentle tannins in the mouth.
