Descripción

Errázuriz firma uno de los grandes vinos del Valle del Maipo, elaborado mayoritariamente con Cabernet sauvignon y con un leve aporte de Petit verdot. En esta añada ha obtenido la máxima puntuación por parte del crítico James Suckling, Tim Atkin y la revista The Wine Advocate. Una añada excepcional debido a una temporada moderadamente fresca, que se tradujo en una maduración larga y uniforme y preservó la acidez natural de las uvas, sus aromas y el color. El resultado es un vino elegante, fresco y único, con una alta complejidad aromática, que se complementa con la finura de los taninos. Una auténtica joya para guardar durante muchos años.

Opinión de los críticos

James Suckling:

The extremely deep nose is an endlessly fascinating tapestry of red and black berries with graphite, savory and wet-earth notes. Super-concentrated, refined and fragrant on the full-bodied palate, everything fitting together so beautifully. Extremely long and refined finish. Drink or hold. 20th Anniversary Berlin Tasting Event, February 2024.

The Wine Advocate:

The 2021 Viñedo Chadwick fermented in stainless steel and troncoconic concrete vats, spent some 10 months in barrique, and then part of the wine (some 20%) was sent to the Stockinger foudres. The nose is reminiscent of a super elegant and sleek Bordeaux, pure and clean, less balsamic than in previous years and less herbal. It's perfumed and floral, precise, fresh and elegant, with very fine tannins, and despite the grape, it is more Pomerol than Graves, with 14% alcohol on the label but without any heat at all. It's velvety and luxurious, juicy and tasty, with fine-grained chalky tannins and the elegant stoniness that the best Maipos are capable of. It has structure and power, like the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. This has to be the finest vintage for Chadwick; the wine made my heart beat faster—it's a wine of emotion. This is also my first 100-point wine from Chile! The final blend contains around 3% Petit Verdot from vines planted in 2005. There are some 10,000 bottles of this, and it was all bottled all at once on January 31, 2023.
