VIK 2019 (OWC 6)

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.
