Tasting notes
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Domus Aurea showed a penetrating nose with plenty of aromatic herbs, dried flowers, pollen and spices with a brightness of fruit that sets it apart from the rest of Cabernet from Maipo. The vineyard has some 4% Cabernet Franc intermixed in the old vineyard (planted in 1970) that is used for this wine. It's very balsamic and with a tasty palate with abundant, fine-grained tannins with the classical Cabernet texture. This is always balanced and elegant, quite traditional and expressing the place from which it comes. 31,900 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2015.

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot. Pure blackcurrant fruit. Smoky. Very much a wine of process – lots of extraction and intensity, quite confected in style. Ambitiously priced. (RH)
