De Martino Vigno Carignan Maule Valley 2018

98 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): “The 2018 Vigno is somewhat more austere and powerful, with more tannin and depth than the 2017 I tasted next to it. It’s very complete and has all the ingredients for a long development in bottle. It’s a wine with power and balance, but it’s a little backward; the 2017 is more expressive and open, more drinkable now. But this will be a long-distance runner and more complete. 6,828 bottles were filled in October 2019. Drink: 2020-2030. (Feb 2020)”

95 points Tim Atkin, MW: “Ever the master blender, Marcelo Retamal combines Carignan with 15% Malbec, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère here. The result is fine, nuanced and well balanced, with subtle, granular tannins, mint and wild herb aromas, subtle oak, a touch of reduction and spicy red and dark berry fruit. 2021-30.”
