De Martino Legado Cabernet-Sauvignon Reserva Maipo 2008

Dark ruby color. Typical nose of a Cabernet based wine beginning its maturation. It’s fine, fruity, have a hint of leather, of tobacco, some spices and bitter chocolate aromas. Silky yet still concentrated, this is just so good. Long tasty finish. This is the type of wine that would change your mind about cellaring Reserva range Chilean wines. For its showing and how much I’ve liked this wine, I’m giving this note: Excellent (91)
