Obviously Chilean from the first sniff - a mix of Szechuan pepper and ripe, almost jammy dark fruit. But there are features that differentiate this from the masses of lookalikes that we usually from Chile: the scent is actually rather leafy and cool despite the rather opposite effect created by the ripe, jammy fruit, and it doesn't really show much oak at all (I guess the oak, therefore, must be used but I welcome any confirmation of that).

Quite full bodied, a bit on the obvious and sweet side for my taste, but still with admirable acidity and even some obvious tannins. A welcome change from the usual Chilean stuff we see, but still not quite within my aesthetic ideals. I would like to see something still less obvious, less harsh and less in-your-face.
