The word Chimera has two different meanings, and both have an intimate relationship with this wine. In Greek mythology, the "Chimera" was a beast made up of the parts of three different animals. This is a clear connection with the fact that it is a cut wine. Still, the second meaning of the word is the one that best represents wine. A Chimera is an impossible search, the search for the unattainable. This is the mentality that everyone has in the vineyards and the winery every year when they produce this wine: without following any rules or tradition, the goal is to produce the best possible blend every year. Chimera is design and architecture, an intimate discovery, a search for perfection.
It is a wine with very deep nuances with aromas ranging from stony and earthy notes, dark fruit, to delicate rosemary accents. On the palate, it is broad, almost feminine and has delicious acidity.
Blend: 48% Malbec, 13% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
It's dark, ripe and juicy, with 14.8% alcohol, soft and voluptuous, with the varieties nicely integrated and the oak in the background. Tasted next to the 2019s, it shows how the vintage is ripe and the tannins are not as fine-boned.
Alc/Vol: 14.6%
