95 points Tim Atkin, MW: "[14%] Vertice comes from vineyards at 485 metres in the highest part of the Apalta Valley and is a cuvée of Carmenère with 49% Syrah. Dense, firm and black-fruited with fine-grained, glossy tannins, scented oak, perfumed 40% new wood and a refreshing finish. 2025-2035. (2022)"
92 points JoaquÃn Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2020 Carménère – Syrah Vertice is 51% Carménère and 49% Syrah from Apalta Colchagua, aged for 22 months in 40% new barrels. Dark garnet red. The nose presents notes of undergrowth, boldo and ripe fruit such as blackberry, alongside country herbs, ash and aromas from the aging process. Broad on the palate with grippy tannins, precise freshness and a finish of dark fruit and herbs. It’s remarkable how expressive and juicy this is given the warm year. Drink: 2022-2030. (Jun 2022)"
92 points James Suckling: "Elegant red berries, cassis and some white pepper and spices on the nose. This is juicy and fresh with a medium body and exuberant, plummy fruit on the palate. Carmenere and syrah. Delicious now, but can hold, too. (4/20/22)"
