The red wine Memorias, vintage 2011 from the winery Viña El Principal has been rated in 2017 by Peter Moser und Ulrich Sautter with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère from the region Maipo Valley in Chile.
Reductive for a moment, but then rolling on with a strong blueberry line, blackberry confit, elderberry pulp, cassis, and forest honey. Soft silky tannins with a long lasting plateau phase and even some lift into a tighter gripping finish. An underlying acidic nerve offers freshness and keeps the tension, and the appetizing fruit remains this side of kitsch. Overall it has a stylishly presented opulence.
