VIÑA NEYEN DE APALTA Espíritu de Apalta Colchagua Valley 2004 (92 points, $65)
Structured style, with loam, black currant, fig paste and black licorice notes that drive through the grippy, tar-tinged finish. Hints of grilled herb and tobacco flitter in the background. Strong showing for the vintage. Carmenère and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2012. 1,375 cases made.
