Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Cordillera de los Andes 2018, made by Miguel Torres, in Chile, offers aromas of pomegranate, raspberry, white pepper, slate, dark chocolate and sandalwood. Made exclusively from Carmenere, this full-bodied wine exposes soft tannins, limpid acidity and a coating finish. Flavors of cherry, pomegranate, green peppercorn, spice, sweet tobacco and caramel make this a perfect sipper. Enjoy.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
