Miguel Torres Cordillera Vigno Carignan 2019	94 Vinous The 2019 Carignan Miguel Torres hails from Huerta de Maule and was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, 7% of them new. A rich purple hue. The aromas range from sweet and sour cherry to plum and blackberry, with hints of spice and gunpowder. Dry, juicy and taut in the mouth. The finely grained, reactive tannins channel the flow producing quite a nimble character. A nuanced, energetic red of long-lasting, fruity flavor.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
Miguel Torres Cordillera Vigno Carignan 2020	94 James Suckling The acidity makes you salivate and the natural concentration of its fresh blue fruit is also quite impressive. Subtle mushroom, mineral, berry, orange and forest floor character comes through with a mineral twist. Tannins are abundant yet really fresh and filigreed. Long and mouthwatering finish makes me crave a refill. Best ever? So delicious now, why hold? 93 Tim Atkin Released later than the majority of the VIGNO reds, this is a varietal Carignan from the Huerta del Maule sub-region of the Maule Valley. Benefitting from the freshness that seems to be conferred by granite soils, this is a grippy, firm, slightly austere red showing plenty of acidity and tannic backbone, damson and cranberry flavors and nicely understated oak. 2025-30.
