Note di degustazione
95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 14 months in French oak barrels (77% new, 23% second-use). Good cool nights helped. Very dark lustrous crimson. Lovely fresh notes on the nose. Pure and very Chilean! Smooth tannin quality. Very smart indeed. (JR)

The 2002-2003 season started with a rainfall concentration in winter, afterwards a dry season allowed us to get small grain clusters that were going to produce very concentrated and expressive wines. During the last stage of ripening and during the harvest we enjoyed a very good weather, and, although there were high temperatures during the day, they fortunately descended enough at night to help a good evolution of the ripening and to preserve the fruit expression within the vineyard. Closed, sweaty leather, cedar, mint leaf, lengthy, full concentration, sweet black fruit profile. (RH)
The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon has a spicy perfume of toasty oak, black currants, and blackberry liqueur. It has lots of extraction in its layered, structured personality and should evolve for another 6-8 years. Importer: Banfi Vintners, Oldbrookville, NY; tel. (516) 686-2502
