Current condition

Young with developing tannin structure and fruit concentration

Based on the vintage 2022 quality in Chile and typical Cabernet structure with firm tannins and medium acidity, the wine will benefit from 2 years bottle aging for tannin softening and flavor integration, peaking roughly 4-7 years after vintage date.

Food pairing

Grilled red meats, lamb, aged cheeses, hearty stews, and dishes with herbs like rosemary or thyme.
