Description
How it tastes
Opulent and complex, this Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon displays rich blackcurrant and plum fruit intertwined with mint, herbs, and subtle oak spice, finishing long and elegant. Intense aromas of dark plum, cassis, and blackberry with notes of eucalyptus, menthol, and black pepper over a backdrop of fine French oak. Concentrated and velvety with flavours of ripe black fruit, cocoa, and spice. The supple tannins provide depth and structure, while the balanced acidity ensures a refined, lingering finish of remarkable poise. Contains sulphites.
