The Drinks Business: 94 Punkte
(Aconcagua Costa DO; 3.2 hectares; 100% Syrah; 13% alcohol). Meaty. Charcuterie. Horse’s hair. Smoked bacon crisps – Frazzles (do you remember those?). Chewy dark berry and plum fruits. Fresh, crisp, crunchy. Nicely open-texture despite the density. There’s something Hermitage about the mid-palate. The tannins have been supremely well managed. The altitude (presumably) is responsible for the striking freshness. Pure rather than complex. But long and tapering on the finish. (2024)
Jane Anson: 92 Punkte
Vibrant and enticing, with leafy raspberry, touches of dusted chocolate, stone fruits, cherry pit, rich damson plum and cola. Well balanced, good quality. Tomas Munoz winemaker, Eduardo Chadwick owner. (02/2024)
