Description

Wine Enthusiast

This top-shelf Cabernet never fails, and in this warm year the wine is dark in colour, with lush yet precise aromas of graphite, fresh blackberry, baking spices and forest floor. A deep palate is just racy enough, while spicy flavours of cassis include integrated herbal notes. Closing flavours of coffee and chocolate, along with soft tannins, make this approachable now and best through 2022.

Wine Advocate

I had an early tasting of the 2012 Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon soon after bottling that I kept for this article. It was a warm, rich, concentrated and powerful but fine vintage. The nose has the exuberance of the 2010 with aromas of flowers, ripe black fruit, damsons, and cherries with spicy touches and a hint of mint. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins and a slightly chalky texture. This is extremely young and unevolved. I tasted some older vintages, down to 1998, which was a cool vintage with a nose of leather and cured meat; and 2008, which, ten years later, still kept the same character. This is one of those wines that are never out of fashion, but it's not really fashionable either. It's a true classic. It's the prototype of Cabernet Sauvignon from Maipo.

Wine Spectator

Concentrated and well-structured, with good cut to the dried cherry, raspberry and savoury herbal flavours. Minerally midpalate, featuring notes of white pepper on the finish, accented by floral, citrusy hints. Drink now through 2020. 2,500 cases made.
