Tinjas del Maule Viejo Feo Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve Edicion Limitada 2017
Valle del Maule, Region del Valle Central, ChileViƱa Tinajas del Maule Winery was founded in 1997 when the Mena Undurraga family acquired old, established vineyards in the town of Villa Alegre in the Maule Valley of Chile. The existing vineyards, adobe buildings, and oak casks that dated back to 1918 have all been updated to make this modern red. Classic boldo scented, this is savoury dry spiced cabernet with a herbaceous edge. The texture is full, and the tannins round and youthful, with just a touch of grip. There is plenty to like here, but it will be another five to seven years before this wine hits its stride. If you must drink it now, be sure to serve it with something off the grill like a T-bone steak or lamb chops.Tasted: 24 February 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $27.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
