Description
By James Suckling in 2023 (JS98)
Complex and deep with blackcurrants, voluptuous sweet berries, olives, cocoa powder and cigar box. This is not shy of Chile cabernet’s signature gooseberry, racy tomato-leaf and red chili-pepper notes, too. Still quite nuanced, with a medium to full body, filled with juicy, silky tannins. Extremely refined and long with some truffles and creamy, dark chocolate in the finish, which lasts over a minute. 78% cabernet sauvignon and 22% cabernet franc. Already deliciously drinkable now, but can hold.
By Jane Anson in 2023 (JA95)
The floral side of Cabernet Sauvignon is very much to the fore in this wine, more than I expected to be honest with a Chilean Cab. Waves of iris and peony are set against raspberry and blueberry fruit, with a smoky caress of grilled sandalwood oak, and sweet red liqourice notes that add depth without being overpowering. An enjoyable wine with lift and character. This is an unusual estate that was planted on entirely virgin land, creating a new wine region in Millahue with owner Alexander Vik and winemaker Cristian Vallejo.Aged in a mix of oak and amphora. New to the Place de Bordeaux this year. Hold +2 years or carafe 4 hours.
