Cousiño Macul - Old Reserves 2012

Cousiño Macul - Antiguas Reservas 2012

"Iron, redcurrant, and flowers on the nose. Full-bodied, with round, silky tannins. Fresh finish." (James Suckling 2015) Far from the clichés about New World wines, Cousiño Macul offers an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon cuvée, balanced between alcohol, fruit, and acidity. A wine without heaviness or over-extraction, with beautiful freshness.
