Acclaim
“Iron, currants and flowers on the nose. Full body, round and silky tannins and a fresh finish.”
— James Suckling, Jul 2015
“Antiguas was once the most traditional and respected Cabernet from Chile. Nowadays, it continues to deliver a clear expression of Maipo Cabernet with ripe red fruit and spices. The warm vintage delivers sweet tannins and round texture.”
— Decanter, Mar 2015
