A hot and dry season but with good diurnal temperature variations. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Carmenère, 10% Merlot. Matured in French oak barriques that are both new and used two and three times. A very intense garnet color. A classic and austere bouquet, evolved and wrapping with sensations of ink, blueberry and licorice. The mouthfeel is rich, complex, juicy, tannic yet not aggressively so, composed and taut, very good, dynamic and with a great finish. The last vintage entirely supervised by Tachis.
