This merlot comes from a 26-year-old vineyard in the Isla de Maipo zone and was fermented with 10% whole clusters to support the structure. That support is evident in a red that has grip on the palate and sharp tannins as well as lots of tart black fruit and some menthol touches. It's medium-bodied but still has very good concentration, enough to consider opening a bottle in a couple of years. Score - 92. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2020)
