Baron Philippe de Rothschild Baronesa P 2020
Valle de Casablanca, Region de Aconcagua, ChileBaronesa P. came from a selection of top blocks studied over the years, and blended to create a cuvée in honour of Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. 2020 is considered to be on the short list of modern Chile’s finest vintages. The nose is classic Maipo with a savoury, boldo undercurrent punctuated with spicy black fruits and subtle toasted oak that run through the wine. It is aged 14 months in 65% new French oak and 35% 1 year old barrels. On the palate, the silky textures grab your attention upfront before the black fruit and licorice take over, with streaks of blueberry and bitter chocolate. It is a baby that will undoubtedly be even better in three to five years. The upper Maipo is a particular part of Chile, and the red wine world needs more of it moving forward. An old school match I like is beef Wellington.Tasted: 16 April 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $71.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
