Tasting Notes - Descorchados "The first edition of this Viñedo Chadwick was the 1999, and it has been based on cabernet sauvignon with some petit verdot ever since. It comes from the alluvial soils in the Tocornal Vineyard, the same source of great Chilean wines such as Almaviva and Don Melchor. This wine has been changing since the 2014 vintage, shifting toward greater freshness, with less oak and less alcohol. The 2016 vintage was a kind of "coming out of the closet," a cold year that proved the perfect excuse to show this new face. This 2018 follows the same path—the delicacy of a wine focused on red fruits and the slight herbal touch of the Alto Maipo. But it doesn't stop there. Leave the wine in the glass for a few minutes, and you'll see how the area’s classic earthy notes emerge strongly, adding complexity. The palate is tense and illuminated by vibrant acidity, while the red fruit flavors take over everything. A wine that will last a decade in the bottle, perhaps longer."
