  Having sensed it was time to drink this wine a few weeks ago, jumped at the chance to serve it up with a Porterhouse.
  
  Definitely time to quaff this wine, as it's having it's last gasp or fleeting moments.
  
  It's quite good, however less than it has been earlier on in its life
  
  Drink up. This is better today, than it will be in 24 hours!
  
  Stock up on a more of a more recent vintage, if "required"... Else, but something else!
  
  PS- Drink The Rainbow!

  Slightly more austere than the least bottle. Maybe getting to it's best before date?
  Alas, previous notes apply
  It's a nice wine.

  I've been staying away from South America as much as possible, this mostly because of Malbec over exposure.
  
  This wine is surprisingly delicious. And obviously not any Mendoza Malbecs!!
  I guess those Bordeaux Lafite's know what they're doing!
  
  Medium intense Ruby. No garnet on the rim as yet.
  
  Mostly Cabernet character with the remaining backbone coming from the other grapes.
  
  Body medium
  Alcohol high
  Acid medium high
  Viscosity- fully envelopes the palate
  Tannin- medium, nicely integrated.still resolving.
  Finish long. 60s+
  
  
  
  CabSauv
  Carm
  Syrah
  
  14.5% abv
  
  Buy this again. It's really good!

  Nothing special, but highly overpriced

  Belo vinho criado para comemorar os dez anos da chegada dos Barões de Rothschild ao Chile.
  
  Produzido majoritariamente com Cabernet Sauvignon, estagiou durante 18 meses em barricas novas de carvalho francês.
  
  O resultado é um vinho vigoroso e intenso, mas também muito elegante e balanceado.
