"Blackcurrants, mulberries, tobacco and hints of pencil lead on the nose. Medium-bodied, savory and sleek, with silky tannins. Drink now or hold."

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Clos de Luz Masal 1945 hails from Almahue in the Cachapoal Valley. Aged in barrels, foudres and concrete tank, this dark garnet wine offers currant and sweet bread notes along with hints of violet and plum, all soaring over a pyrazine layer. Dry and edgy due to its reactive tannins, it lingers long with a firm and tasty finish. This is an exotic yet delicious take on Cabernet."
