Errazuriz, Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva Max, Aconcagua

Good colour with no signs of age. Nose was slow to develop at first but showed just a trace of 'farmyard' at first (nice) but this was short-lived. Within an hour of opening the rich palate showed good dark, mainly blackberry, fruits with soft integrated tannins, hints of spice, good balance and length. It improved over 5-6 hours. Good on its own and even better with food. Next day, the wine was drinking well and was a fine partner to …

MNB: New World Cab (sans California) (Home (Noe st)) : (blind) Deep ruby color. Reductive nose - burnt rubber, slight pyrazines. Dry, 14% alcohol, elevated acid, medium plus tannins - a bit harsh, reductive and pretty short, with notable pyrazines. 10% new oak. Final call: Pyrazinic, young, pretty tannic, not super expressive. Laterals: - South Africa - could be - Chile - could be, but I'd expect more fruit and more pyrazines - Margaret river - would be riper - …

Leafy blackcurrant on the nose and palate (thanks for the mention of 'leaf', HenryG). Aromatic, with decent balance, good fruit, integrated tannins. Still some development to come - it opened nicely over a few hours after opening. A good New World Cabernet - not overly complex but a good foil for meat dishes. Good next day. 87+

I bought a bottle with my friend to drink while having Christmas Party. The bottle was not expensive so I never had high hopes in this wine. But I liked it quite much and will probably buy again. (Hopefully it can fint into my wine fridge.)

PnVnD let air for 1hr. Dark purple garnet dense alomost saturated with plum to clear rim. Menthol cassis plum and tobacco on the nose. Medium weight with softly burred tannins. Nicely ripe on the palate with enough freshness to keep it from being cloying with flavours of cassis plum soy dark chocolate tobacco and espresso. Only the slightest of telltale Chilean green cedar flavour. Very nice for the price.

nose is oaky, coconut, vanilla with berry scents.aromas alongside fast and furious spiced berry scents - palate of spiced cherry, blackberry, with some chocolate, and coffee notes.

2013 vintage

Good price but somewhat lacking

2013 vintage

Olfactive: berries, med intensity after being Carafed 30 min. Degustative: no acidity (light), no bitterness, dry, light body, med persistence. Typical Cab/sauv. Young but balanced. Fair price/quality - no more

Still needs some time but drinking well. I had over 2 days. Good fruit with nice structure.

2013 vintage

Good value, solid and more enjoyable than most of E's bottles I have had to date Fruit is dominant characteristic on nose, equally balanced with tannins on palate

2013 vintage

Wine was very strong with tannin, almost bitter......

2013 vintage

Waxy blackberry fruit aromas. Licorice to the palate. Again, stays away from showing any green to the nose or the palate.

2013 vintage

Did not live up to expectations, lacking either the refinement or power of similarly priced Chilean cabs

2013 vintage

Bright deep purple color. Menthol and dark berry fruit aromas. Very pleasant drinking, with blackberries and well integrated soft tannins. Long fruity finish.

2013 vintage

The nose on opening is dark red fruit, slight hint of spice. On the palate its plum; rich but not heavy. Very well balanced with a medium finish that builds. This is an excellent value wine. I've had several Errazuriz wines now and they have all been very pleasing. Recommended.

2013 vintage

Cassis, black currant and cedar wood on the nose. Palate was juicy and straightforward. An acceptable table wine.

Mullig Cab från Chile. Inte riktigt min stil, men visst är det gott. Fick inspiration när jag läste Decanters oktober-issue med fokus på sydamerika. Just den här fick 89p där. Jag fick mycket vibbar av soltorkade tomater, taco (spiskummin?), ketchup, söta plommon och en del rök. I munnen är det nästan bara svarta vinbär så druvan är det ingen tvekan om. Fyllig, lång med mogna tanniner, men som sagt var kanske lite väl mycket oomph för min smak.

2013 vintage

Light, easy to drink. Green pepper notes.

2013 vintage

Apple grapefruit grassy

2013 vintage

roasty nose, distinct smell of blackcurrants Medium body, not heavy GOod acidity, fruity, some fragrance, touch of caramel, bit of leather Savoury finish with a little tannin This isn't bad £10 Next day, light and leafy but with good ripe fruit. This is nice.

I fear that my last note of this same vintage i mislabeled - but perhaps Errazuriz snuck in a new vintage from a separate vineyard/location...regardless of that - this drinks pretty much similar to my other note of the the 2013 Max Res SB. I would not say this is "rough", now is about 2 yrs out of bottle. Nice tart/sharp SB with mixed grapefruit/guava/subtle grass and as someone stated ? asparagus? Would use this as house white for next …

2013 vintage

Canned asparagus bomb! Whoo ohh!

2013 vintage

Highly aromatic gooseberry, cat pee, and herbal aromas from the glass. Light-to-medium bodied on the palate along with a slightly creamy texture. Balanced aroma replays, plus green pepper, lime peel notes on the palate. Has lively acidity and a lengthy finish. Classic Sauvignon Blanc.

2013 vintage

Very gooseberry with some RS would be my guess. And then blistering acidity on the back. Made, well made.

2013 vintage

Wow, this is just off the vine, and I would say needs 1 yr in bottle to mellow a little - but does come off decent enough if not a tad rough. Last note is similar to my experience - nose is lots of grassy/grapefruit/?guava? Palate is sharp/effervescent with acid and similar notes on the nose. Finish transitions to a little bitter quality. Good QPR for ~16$ CAN @ MLCC.

2013 vintage

Effervescent gooseberry, herbal, grass and guava aromas. Crisp mouthfeel with good aroma replays. Has bright acidity for pairing with food and a lengthy, tart finish.

2013 vintage

Are you sure?
