A regular year. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Carmenère, 10% Merlot. Matured 24 months in French oak barriques that are both new and used two and three times. A very intense ruby-garnet color. The bouquet is extraordinarily complex, gentle, wrapping, with refined balsamic notes of aromatic herbs and fruity ones of red currant, blueberry, blackcurrant and hints of underbrush. The mouthfeel is full and intense, agile and very elegant, with thick tannins and great balance in the progression.
Bottles produced: 72,121; 2,916 half-bottles; 2,700 magnums; and 384 double magnums.
