Errazuriz Don Maximiano Founder's Reserva 2008
Cabernet Sauvignon
from Chile, South America
winemaker's notes:
A pretty red color with ruby-red highlights. Expressive on the nose, with a broad range of aromas that denote tremendous complexity, featuring red fruit such as cherry, cassis, and
raspberry, subtler notes of red currant, tobacco, and hazelnuts, and some balsamic tones. Voluptuous on the palate, this wine
features extremely fine, firm, and sweet tannins along with bitter chocolate, cherries, and sweet spice flavors. Its outstanding acidity gives the wine a youthful, refreshing
feeling, which presages an excellent cellaring potential.
Blend: 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Carmenere, 5% Syrah, 3% Petit Verdot
critical acclaim:
"Inky ruby. Expansive, assertive scents of blackberry, cherry-cola, smoky herbs and licorice. Stains the palate with dark berry, cherry and bitter chocolate flavors, with zesty minerality adding precision. Tannins build with air and add grip to the impressively long, chewy finish. With aeration more sweetness and depth arrive, with no loss of vivacity. Very impressive and balanced for cellaring."
