Antiguas Reservas Maipo Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Very fruit forward; noticeable tannins; dark plum, pencil shavings

One of the first case purchases I made when I started collecting right out of college. Turned out to be a killer value at $10-12/bottle. Highly pyrazinic but balanced with just enough fruit.

So, this was a baller. This wine started out amazing...ripe fruit, vegetal and some of the developmental notes, but started out tasting like 10 year old Bordeaux. Unfortunately, it the glass it fell apart quick. So, we went with short pours after that...

1985--amazingly in good shape though fully mature Cabernet. 30 years later and this $12 wine was delicious.

I liked this compared to others among my group. Bright red stewed fruit, fresh, bay leaf and bell pepper. Good weight considering the color isn't that dark. Definitely different,.....

Medicinal at first, with pungent eucalyptus, that over time resolves into bay leaf, inky black fruit, and bittersweet chocolate/oak. A nice change of pace.

Cherry cough syrup, Anaheim chili, blueberry, paprika, bay leaf. Solid.

Non sono famigliare con i vini chile anche sono popolare in giappone. Questo caberne sauvignion e equibilibrato anche ha un gusto dolce per l’attacca quando bevo primo. Buono mercato vorrei prendere di nuovo.

Fruit berry flavors, earthiness and chocolate. Really good Cab from Chile. $17. Bought at Riverdale Vintner.

Featured wine at Diamond Jim Brady’s tonight. So good!!! I have to find this wine.
