Errázuriz Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve 2021

The stunning nose of red fruit and violets with a glaze of fine vanilla oak and great finesse pulls you into this concentrated Bordeaux blend with very fine tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate. But as wonderful as the interplay of fruit and tannin is on the front palate, this opens up like a peacock's tail at the extremely long and brilliant finish. Each time you go back the delicate spice becomes more apparent. A cuvee of 63% cabernet sauvignon, 22% malbec, 8% carmenere and 7% petit verdot. Sustainable. So delicious already! Drink or hold [into the early 2030s]. 20th Anniversary Berlin Tasting Event, February 2024. Score - 97.
