Great value. I will admit a certain bias against Chilean wines, but this is causing me to reconsider. Doesn't have the residual sweetness or high alcohol that i detest. Quite dense but smooth, with the smokiness noted by others. Decent if not pronounced acidity. Quite a remarkable value given the price.
