Escudo Rojo Origine 750Ml

Escudo Rojo is an iconic Chilean brand created by Baron Philippe de Rothschild to produce the best wines in each category and market them worldwide. The wines strike a harmonious balance between freshness, fruit, oak, fullness on the palate and aging potential. In addition to the flagship blended wine, the Escudo Rojo range includes five varietal wines: Carmenere, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. All the wines in the range express a distinctive character, reflecting the expression of its terroir.

Refined and complex, with intense fruit notes, the nose reveals wild strawberry, cherry and blackcurrant aromas mingled with delicate notes of vanilla. Excellent attack on the palate with a concentration and balanced acidity, on silky and refined tannins. The wine goes on to reveal its distinctiveness and aromatic complexity on ripe black fruit and Morello cherry flavors followed by notes of vanilla, mocha and toasted hazelnuts on the finish, demonstrating all the power and complexity of Baron Philippe de Rothschild's selection of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

JS94

James Suckling

This is very decadent on the nose with blackberries and undertones of black licorice and raw meat. Floral and beautiful. Full-bodied, layered and juicy with loads of fruit and intensity. Long, long finish. Needs two or three years to soften. Better after 2022.

V92

Vinous

A Cabernet Sauvignon from Buin, Maipo, that combines harvest sectors and dates as part of a modern approach. Intense garnet in color, with a nose that offers up notes of fresh black currant and vanilla from the wood, combined with black and bell pepper. Juicy, with polished, active tannins, well-judged freshness and a lingering, bold palate.
