cool and more elegant nose combines notes of plum

chocolate and black cherry notes make up the perfume

The 2009 Caro Blend is made up of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 18 months in 80% new French oak

Errazuriz, Las Pizarras Pinot Noir Size:6x750ml cool and more elegant noseI also tasted two consecutive vintages of the slate Pinot Noir, and the oldest of the two is the 2016 Aconcagua Costa "Las Pizarras" Pinot Noir, which fermented with 18% full clusters in open vats after a cold soak and had a 20 day maceration. It matured for some 14 months in French barriques, 33% of them new. It has that iodine like or fresh blood note I associate with schist and iron soils. This seems fresher and more precise than the previous 2015,
