2000 Escudo Rojo

[winoweenie]

Thje Chilean product of Domain Rothchild in Maipo valley. What a wine! Intense, concentrated, beautifully balanced wine with the whole magilla. Deep ruby, a complex nose with spices, deep red cherries, lots of cocoa and heavy traces of vanilla that are wrapped around a solid core of active tannins. This is a serious bottle of juice that needs another 3-6 to make for some gorgeuos drinking. A real major contender for P/Q wine of the year at 12.99 WW
