Meanwhile southern Chile has produced for us several little time capsules of the late Renaissance. These liquids are contradictions; naive and sophisticated. The act of appreciating them causes our conceptions of the universe to bend.
Southern, rustic, antique Chilean vineyards produce smoky recollections of Cru Beaujolais. Like Guy Breton ran into a spice truck on the way to a Borges convention.
2019s Carrizal (tinto and bianco) and Pichihuedque appeared on this blog in May.

What do you want to know?
Of the three 2019 tintos in this series, this is the most Dechaunac. Also, it’s the most internally regulated. It is large and explosive, but contained by its extract and tannin such that it would represent the nearest point of departure for someone veering off the path of drone wines.
Pungent raspberries. Plum cider. Ripe, organized tannic grip makes it dry and architectural.
If 2019 Pichihuedque (Luyt, Pipeńo) is oily Syrah; and if 2019 Carrizal Tinto (again Luyt, Pipeńo) is Gamay/Pinot Noir; then 2019 Coronel de Maule (ditto) is one of the Cabernets––Franc or Sauvignon. Help me decide which!
Served with bean burritos.
