93 points from Suckling, his top Escudo Roja Cabernet score to date:
Impressively fresh and upbeat fruit that runs from dark cherries to berries and ripe dark plums. The palate has a very fresh and attractive core of plush fruit flavor with a long, seamless run of silky, fresh tannins. Drink or hold.
What especially impresses me about this superb Cabernet is how it combines the ripe, exuberant fruit of Chile with an old world terroir quality, complexity, reserve and even breed. Better even than most of the Napa wines made by famous Bordeaux names.
And at such a great price!
