Haras de Pirque
Hussonet Gran Reserva Maipo Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
I think this is my last bottle, 🙁. It is showing very well. Still a deep, vibrant purple violet color. Nose offers fleshy black fruits, with just enough herbal/leafy/tobacco-cigar box to lend interest but not obscure the fruit. The texture is resolved and ample, medium+ body. Served w falafel and homemade sourdough, griddled flatbreads.

Apr 23rd, 2020Just the right amount of tobacco leaf/herbal funk to match with Hatch green chili pork.

Oct 3rd, 2019Overly grassy and herbaceous. Not much fruity notes left after seven years, probably should have drunk young. Tight tannin and acidic.

Nov 30th, 2017Green pepper and jalapeño for days, mixed with crushed wet rocks. Too much for me but very typical example of a Chilean Cabernet

Nov 10th, 2017Deep ripe black fruit with tons of guava. Very smooth Chilean cab with moderate pyrazine. It is a great value as it is only $12 bucks.
