Cousiño Macul - Old Reserves 2012

Cousiño Macul - Antiguas Reservas 2012

“Iron, redcurrant, and floral notes on the nose. Full-bodied, with round, silky tannins. A fresh finish.” (James Suckling 2015) Far from the clichés about New World wines, Cousiño Macul offers an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon here, perfectly balanced between alcohol, fruit, and acidity. A wine that is light on the palate, without over-extraction, and beautifully fresh.
