Rated 91
The 2022 The Blend Primus Esencia combines 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec, 10% Carmenere, 6% Syrah, 5% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Aged for 18 months, one-third in foudres and two-thirds in French oak barrels, it offers classic Chilean character with notes of jam and a touch of camphor. This is dry and clingy, with a firm texture and hints of salt and black fruit. Drink 2025-2036.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
