Baron Philippe de Rothschild Maipo Chile Baron Philippe de Rothschild Maipo Chile Baronesa P. 2021 750ml

Very ripe and opulent but pretty fresh at the same, with plenty of blackberries, some fresh figs, dark chocolate and flowers. Very concentrated on the full-bodied palate with ripe, densely packed tannins. Rich, very flavorful and long. Pretty hedonistic for 2021. Flamboyant, flavorful and extravagant. 17 months in barrels, of which 50% is new oak. 81% cabernet sauvignon, 8% carmenere, 5% petit verdot, 3% cabernet franc and 3% syrah. Drink or hold.

Ripe berries and earthy tones introduce a bold Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from the Maipo Valley. Finely grained tannins hold a palate that bursts with dark chocolate notes and bright strawberry, raspberry and plum flavors. Optimal acidity adds freshness and extends notes of oregano and other dried herbs into the finish.

A harmonious red that leads with savory olive, cassis and cigar box details, with a graphite hint to the densely packed core of blackberry, plum and cassis. There's nice persistence, with acidity moving things to the finish around well-integrated tannins and a lingering berry note. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. Drink now through 2040. 4,500 cases made, 361 cases imported.
