2019 Vina de VIK

Complex and deep with blackcurrants, voluptuous sweet berries, olives, cocoa powder and cigar box. This is not shy of Chile cabernet’s signature gooseberry, racy tomato-leaf and red chili-pepper notes, too. Still quite nuanced, with a medium to full body, filled with juicy, silky tannins. Extremely refined and long with some truffles and creamy, dark chocolate in the finish, which lasts over a minute. 78% cabernet sauvignon and 22% cabernet franc. Already deliciously drinkable now, but can hold. (2022)
