Best Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile.In Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.

One of Chile’s icon wines, Vinedo Chadwick is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 18 months in new French oak. The 2005 Vinedo Chadwick offers up a spectacular bouquet of pain grille, mineral, spice box,

leather, black currants, and blackberry. Elegant on the palate with layers of savory flavors, the wine beautifully conceals enough tannin to evolve for a decade. However, because of the wine’s great balance, superb concentration, and succulence, it can actually be enjoyed now. Its prime drinking period will be from 2015 to 2030.”
