🏰 The 2010 Concha y Toro Terrunyo Block Las Terrazas Pirque Vineyard Cabernet is a highly-rated Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from a gravel vineyard in Maipo planted in 1978. Winemaker Ignacio Recabarren is known for picking grapes relatively early to preserve the finest aromas, and the wine is aged for approximately 14 months in the finest Bordeaux barriques. This red wine presents a deep red, opaque, and midnight blue colour. The bouquet is concentrated with ripe black fruit aromas intertwined with leather, chocolate, and graphite, alongside notes of espresso, dark chocolate, papaya, and herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied, slightly acidic, and savoury, with flavours of blackberry and cedar, hints of liquorice, and red bell pepper. It offers dense, soft tannins and a sweet aftertaste, with persistent chocolate and dried fruit flavours on a lingering finish. Critics also note elegant and complex dark fruit, plum, cigar box, vanilla, black pepper, and cloves. 【A highly-rated Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon from a specific Pirque vineyard block, known for its concentrated ripe black fruit and elegant complexity.】 🍴 This towering Chilean red is an ideal accompaniment to lamb with spicy sauces and full-flavoured cheeses.
