Intense and a little austere at first, but quickly a juicy wave of redcurrant and bilberry fruit floods the palate. This is a dry vintage in Chile, although not particularly hot until the end of the growing season, giving good quality wines that need some time in bottle to loosen.

Rocas de Seña 2022 (Valle del Aconcagua, Chile; 33% Malbec; 25% Syrah; 21% Cabernet Sauvignon; 9% Petit Verdot; 7% Mourvèdre; 5% Grenache; aged in oak barrels, 40% of which are new, and concrete eggs; 13.5% alcohol; tasted twice, the second time with Francisco Baettig over Zoom). Distinctly saline – with almost a salted peanut note. Violet. Candlewax. Incense. A little candyfloss. Cigar smoke. Spice. Aromatic Szechuan peppercorns. Plum and dark berry fruits, crunchy black raspberry too. Home-made raspberry jam as it’s being made. A little dried petal note. A wild herbal element too and a more savoury, slightly meaty, gamey note (no doubt from the Syrah and the Mourvèdre). Sinuous and quite fluid over the palate, if without the density and length of Seña itself. But what it has is agility, a certain levity and that brings an ethereal quality. Overall, a pleasingly articulate introduction to the grand vin with much of its charm and personality in an already accessible form. Harmony. Quite grippy, structuring the linear tight frame.
