Baron de Rothschild Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva Flagship 2018
£35.00
750ml
14% - Chile
This year’s Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva blend is 44% cabernet sauvignon, 38% carménère, 12% syrah, and the rest is petit verdot and cabernet franc. The varieties were aged separately for eight months and then blended and returned to the barrels for a couple more months. All of this, however, does not affect the fruit, which continues to be a tremendous focus of attention in this wine. There are lots of ripe red fruits in a context of smooth, friendly tannins.
