L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Deep purple coloured wine with a pronounced aroma of ripe black fruit, including black currant and blackberry, sweet spice, cocoa, coffee and vanilla. Full bodied and smooth with balanced acidity and tannin; dry. Tastes of black fruit, blackberry, cedar, tobacco, coffee and cocoa. Long finish featuring black fruit and vanilla. Perfect with grilled meat or can be sipped on its own. Still very drinkable.

Cherie Cole rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

From Chile's Colchagua Valley, this wine made up of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, presents a beautiful deep ruby color. The aromas consist of ripe, red cherry, cassis, tobacco leaf and nutmeg. Full-bodied and well structured, this wine would pair well with grilled meats.
