Baron Philippe de Rothschild Escudo Rojo Baronesa P 2020 |
Top 100 Wines of Chile 2022 (#9)
97 Points James Suckling
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.
The 2020 Baron Philippe de Rothschild Escudo Rojo is a full red wine with excellent liveliness and length. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of blackberries, boysenberries, and a suggestion of earthiness. Pair it with grilled, rosemary-accented lamb chops.
