Terroir is definitely a palpable thing in Chile, and it is on display here, with specific regional mineral character up front aromatically even with a couple hours in the decanter. In other words, this is a true “sense of place” wine that celebrates its origins as any top shelf wine should. The flavors are savory, with some dill and pepper joining the meaty character. The fruit is currently brooding in the background, so tuck this one away for future revelation. It will be worth the wait!
