Cono Sur, Reserva Especial, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2011

Tasting: Maipo Cabernet

Fresh, fine boned. Elegant understated palate. Refreshing. Another glass beckons.

Tasting: Maipo Cabernet

Restrained, earthy tones. Juicy. Lacks a little bit of length and core focus on the finish; comes up a bit short. But it’s decent, figgy Cab, very drinkable and fairly refreshing.

Tasting: Maipo Cabernet

A very timid Cabernet, with not much to show on the nose; the cool vintage showing is character here. The palate feels austere and tense, with acidity playing a mayor role, putting back the flavours of black fruit and enhancing the tannins. Wait for it.
