Reviews and Ratings

Courtney Flood rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Full bodied and sensual, with dried fig, cherry, chocolate and gingerbread. Great value, good pairing for a hearty winter stew.
Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The Hacienda Araucano 2015 Clos de Lolol is a gorgeous wine from the Colchagua Valley of Chile. Blended harmoniously from 35% Syrah, 25% Carmenere, 20% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, this wine reveals an intense bouquet of plum sauce, blackberry jam, black olive, black pepper, tobacco leaf, expresso and oak. Full body, a velvety finish and polished tannins, the wine shows nice structure and will please the Chilean wine lover on any occasion. Palate: dark skin plum, black currant, lavender, leather, allspice, dark chocolate and oak. Delicious wine. Enjoy!
Simon Chen rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I don't normally agree with JS score but this time, I actually find this wine has a very good QPR. I drank the wine over 3 days and the aromas and flavors got more and more interesting over time. It didn't become more complex but i got very interesting minty and herbal flavors that were covered by the dark fruits and chocolate flavors initially.

A very interesting blend and would definitely try other vintages in the future!
From the Lolol Valley in Chile, Hacienda Araucano Clos De Lolol 2015 is intense with dark berry compote, fresh herbs, dark chocolate and earthy spices savoury on the palate. Could easily cellar for three more years to show its best but is drinking well now. Produced by famed winemaker, François Lurton, this medium-plus-bodied Carmenère, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot red blend is produced from organically and biodynamically grown grape from Demeter-certified vineyards. - Community Wine Reviews
