2020 Alto Totihue Cachapoal Valley Syrah

Deep purple, almost opaque, in the glass. The tightly wound and powerfully monolithic nose draws you down into the glass. While the core of oak and black fruit broods, spicy red raspberry, cassis, leather and rock escape the abyss with a kiss of black pepper haloing the bouquet. Medium-complex for now but there is so much more to come. Medium-full-bodied on the palate, it's fleshy and juicy but also surprisingly light and airy with an interesting marriage of ripe plum, oak, pepper and mineral. There's great length and plenty of emerging complexity but clearly this wine is just a baby.
