Cousiño-Macul - Lota 2020 (750ml) Cannonau di Sardegna

Cousiño-Macul - Lota 2020 (750ml) Cannonau di SardegnaRated 97 Picked early because of the pandemic, but not showing any less concentration as a result, this is one of Chiles finest Bordeaux blends, made with an 80 20 blend of old vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the Macul estate in Satiago. Concentrated yet not overbearing, it has damson, cassis and potpourri flavours and a frame of toast and vanilla spicy oak. Built to last. Tim Atkin

a good tension that brings length and balance to the wine that finishes on mineral and citrus fruits
