Alex Hunt | Very little aroma, a bit of raspberry perhaps, but sniff too hard looking for it and alcohol is what dominates. Light, crisp, attractive palate, but very simple. | 82

Andrew Jefford | Deep, clear red. Rather grassy scents here, alas. A slightly skinny example... which in itself may not be a bad thing for Chile and perhaps reflects its site. It is just a little grassy, though, and there is no great concentration or impact to the wine. But some might applaud it as a fresh, mealtime style. | 83

Anthony Rose | Relatively pale in color, this is pleasantly fresh and berryishly Pinot-esque on the nose, if lacking a tad in intensity, while the berry fruit is attractively juicy in texture, with mid-length strawberryish flavors and perhaps more weight on the palate than the nose suggests. The wine finishes with pleasant freshness but just lacks oomph. | 87
