Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

All from vineyards in the Buin area, near Alto Maipo, on the alluvial terraces of the southern bank of the Maipo River and beside the BPR winery in the Maipo Valley. These are 20-year-old vines that have produced this delicious juice of red fruits with spicy notes and a bit of herbs. The palate has very fine, firm tannins and lively acidity. The wine flows through the mouth. A surprising value for money here because of how delicious it is although especially because it offers a sense of place. And at this price, that’s not common. [Drink through 2027+.] Score – 92. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2024)
