"Iron, redcurrant and flowers on the nose. Full-bodied, with round, silky tannins. Fresh finish." (James Suckling 2015) Far from the clichés about New World wines, Cousiño Macul here offers an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon cuvée, balanced between alcohol, fruit and acidity. A wine without heaviness, without over-extraction, with a beautiful freshness.
