Drinking Window: 2015 - 2020
Lovely and wild with ripe fruits, cigar box spice and roasted green pepper aromas. Full bodied and round with lovely tannins and elegant use of oak. A refreshing style with a ripe finish – very popular indeed! Another classic example of Cabernet growing in Alto Maipo, this is a complex, elegant red. Its delicate net of tannins support layers of dry red fruit, spices and herbal notes. A touch of earthy flavours enhances its complexity. A very serious Cabernet for old-school Bordeaux lovers.
