Errazuriz Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve 1995

Valle de Aconcagua, Region de Aconcagua, ChileVery good cherry purple color. Intense minty, cassis, stewed prune jammy aromas, hot. Very ripe and supple on the palate, balanced and intense flavours of cassis, mint, peppery, berry jam and oak toast. Long and concentrated, this is also one of Chile's best cabernet, the only drawback the very high alcohol and stewed character, much like a drought year wine in California. Less overripe fruit and alcohol with a bit more tannin would be one to keep.Tasted: 01 March 1998Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
