Starts out with distinct candied aromas of milk chocolate-covered raspberry or cherry, which is fine in a drugstore candy sampler but not great in a wine bottle. Things settle and darken up on the palate, where there’s racy red berry fruit and minerally notes. Coffee, mocha and sweet oak are most prominent on the finish.——M.S.(12/1/2011)—— 87

Up to this pioint we’ve been a fan of the new Undurraga’s T.H. (Terroir Hunter) wines. But this Limari Syrah has some problems, namely a soupy, medicinal nose that’s followed by a short, hot, clipped palate of limited yet floral berry flavors. Lacks mouthfeel, depth and clarity.——M.S.(7/1/2010)—— 83
