2020 Baron Philippe de Rothschild "Baronesa P.," Valle de Maipo Such demure depth and focus on the nose, showing high-grade cedar wood with brooding yet fresh blackberries, cassis and cigar, as well as hints of dark olives and red chili pepper. Beautiful cabernet character here. This is a very structured and full-bodied red, imbedded with lots of vertical, fine-grained tannins now, which will take some time to soften. The volume on the palate is quite impressive. 81% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc, 5% syrah, 5% petit verdot and 4% carmenere. Sustainable.

Berry. Earthy. Dense. Enjoyed overall. Very nice. Better on night 2. Probably would have continued to improve. Would agree it was overpriced at the $140 I paid.

Very good. Needed an hour to open up. Deep purple, dark fruits. Certainly good for another five years.
