The old Lemu is now simply called 2016 Maurizio Garibaldi, and the label reads Syrah/Malbec. But then the 2017 that I tasted next to this 2016 is different, as the base is Durif (or Petit Sirah), which also features here even if not mentioned on the label. This 2016 is a blend of 54.5% Malbec, 22.8 % Syrah and 22.7 % Durif from seven-year-old ungrafted vines on a 40% slope. The place is quite cold for Maipo, and the weather is closer to Casablanca than the rest of Maipo. He picked before the torrential rains, and it was a challenging year, much cooler than the average. It fermented with 30% full clusters in 600-liter open bins, and the wine matured in neutral, well-seasoned barriques for 21 months. It's 13.6% alcohol and has very good freshness. Duriff has explosive fruit and flowers, while the Syrah gives it a spicy twist and the Malbec a velvety texture. This has character and is quite original, with a balanced, tasty palate with fine, slightly dusty tannins. 8,266 bottles were filled in February 2018.
