Tabali Talinay Pinot Noir Limari Valley 2014

Medium dark and translucid ruby color. Aromas of red and black berries, earth, pepper, dried flowers, some oak, all in a powerful and expressive nose. Charming on the palate with its fruit and creamy texture, the wine still is serious, quite spicy with depth and tastyness. There is acidity, freshness while being true to the grape variety. Among the best Chilean Pinot Noir I’ve ever had. To keep in the cellar to try again in few months or years. Very good+ (90)

Made of Pinot Noir from a vineyard located at 12 km of the Pacific Ocean. Fermented in tanks and aged 12 months in French oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13,5%

Available in SAQ stores for 27,05$ (Code SAQ : 12976908)

De Martino Legado Reserva Cabernet-Sauvignon Maipo 2013

Dark ruby color. Aromas of mint, red berries, spices, coffee, clay and light oak notes. Tasty, structured but still have charm with its bright flavors of fruit and greens, spices and a slightly rustic finish. I like that type of wine and dare to put some aside to let it age and you’ll be rewarded! Excellent (91)

Dense and purple color. Nose of black berries, earth, sweet spices and some new leather. Round, silky and fresh on the palate with a good acidity level and some strenght, but soften by the wine texture and flavors. Notes of berries, spices and a hint of green pepper. This was really tasty! Very good (89)
