Acclaim
“Cousiño Macul’s 50,000 case flagship wine combines fruit from Buin in the Maipo Andes with 10% from its traditional base in the suburbs of Santiago. It’s a very impressive red, doubly so given the volumes involved, with tobacco, cassis and graphite notes, smooth tannins and subtle oak integration.”
— Tim Atkin, Mar 2017
“A classic cabernet in the house style. Refined, smooth, friendly, and juicy, with a delicious and sophisticated tannic texture.”
— Patricio Tapia, Jun 2017
