Errázuriz The Blend, Aconagua Valley, 2006

Tasted 18/11/2010 with Ian and Clem on our Chilean tasting night. £16.99 Waitrose. Winemaker Baettig's blend for this wine was 40 % Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Carmenere. This is one of my favourite producers but though this wine was very good, I was slightly disappointed. It is over 4 years old, so should be ready but we suspected that the Sangiovese in the blend was from very young vines. Nice complex black berry fruits on the nose but it was a little green on the finish. Still very rich and elegant nonetheless. One to watch - let's see how the Blend evolves with new vintages.
