Escudo Rojo Rothschild Maipo Chile 2008 - Represents an ambitious venture of Baron de Phillippe Rothischild wines in the Maipo and Rapel Valleys in Chile. A blend of the two Cabernets with Carmenere and Syrah, it offers a cascade of ripe red fruit, cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry, delicately accompanied by subtler notes of tobacco, spice and toast. The palate is round, rich and full-bodied. The tannins are mature and round, gently enfolded in delicious vanilla, chocolate and liquorice flavours. The finish is long, flavoursome and silky, underlining the fullness of the ripe fruit. Easy drinking and distinctly Chile.
