Miguel Torres Escaleras de Empedrado Pinot Noir

Delicate cherry red color, with little layer, as this variety of grape should be. Intense, elegant aroma. It shows notes of sour cherry, rosehip, undergrowth, mushrooms and moss, which take us to the forests of the Chilean coast, the dawn and the faint, distant sea breeze. The mouth is balanced, fresh, mineral. It surprises with salty, flagstone and graphite notes, ending with a final, long, elegant, refreshing and distinct. Wine with personality that invites you to discover the secrets of pairing. Paired with wild mushrooms, stewed rabbit and hare, confit goose.

Miguel Torres Escaleras de Empedrado Pinot Noir 2015	94 Wine Advocate 2015 was a very warm and but not so dry year, and the grapes for the 2015 Escaleras de Empedrado were picked one week earlier than in previous years. I retasted this wine in the context of a vertical of all the vintages produced of this wine between 2012 and 2019. It has some effect from the warm year, but it’s quite subtle. It shows moderate evolution; it’s still juicy and fills your mouth and comes through as balanced and clean, and it has fine tannins. It is healthy, and the marked difference of temperatures between day and night brought freshness. The change from 2014 to 2015 was that here all the barrels were used, nothing new. They produced 4,400 bottles. It was bottled in July 2018. 93 James Suckling The whole-bunch character really pops out here with red apples and dried blackberries with tangerine undertones. Full-bodied with lots of muscular tannins and a chewy finish. A bold but impressive style. Drink in 2023. 93 Decanter Interesting, engaging and wild aromas of dark fruits, roasted herbs and leather. Characterful on the palate with an attractive structure and lot of energy. Drink 2021-2022.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
