Aromas of blackcurrants, crushed stone, bay leaves, graphite, violets and some rust. Full-bodied with layers of velvety tannins that turn to cashmere. Juicy and flavorful. Needs time to open. It’s extremely structured and solid. Best after 2027.

The 2022 Viñedo Chadwick is equal parts composed and commanding, entering with an aromatic intensity that stays under the surface but holds excellent energy and power. The nose is darkly fruited, herbal and wonderfully gravel-laden and toasted, displaying pitch-perfect harmony between all elements. The texture is sumptuous yet graceful, displaying fantastic poise and clarity through its classically structured framing and balance. The finish calls back the nose's multidimensionality, simultaneously achieving a flashy, rugged persistence housed in an exquisite, understated and nuanced package. This is a real work of art that should deliver immense pleasure for two decades. It's a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in predominantly barrique with a small portion of foudre.

The 2022 Viñedo Chadwick comprises 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, sourced from the Puente Alto vineyard. Among Chile's iconic wines, Viñedo Chadwick has carved out a unique place for elegance and intensity, and this vintage is a stunning example. Aged for 20 months, with 90% in new French oak barrels and 10% in foudres, this bright purple wine unfolds nuanced aromas of cassis, ash and black pepper, complemented by a deep cedar layer that evolves into subtle floral and spicy hints. Dry, with fine-grained tannins and a juicy flow, its deep flavors lead to a structured and slightly austere mouthfeel—a finessed Bordeaux-oriented red with the plush tannins of Maipo. Beautiful.

Good quality, with a loose-limbed feel to the tannic architecture that is just so appealing, giving a confident hold to the fennel and bitter chocolate notes that run through the cassis and bilberry fruits. Great quality, heads towards eucalyptus and mint leaf after a few minutes in the glass, this is intense and with confident grip on the finish, great lift on the finish, full of personality.

This complex and multilayered effort lures you in with fresh violet, crushed fennel seed, damp earth and graphite aromas that give way to a rich, commanding and well-defined core of black cherry, plum and cassis. A subtle saline edge checks in, lending a mouthwatering quality as this moves to the lengthy finish around dense, structured tannins, plus late echoes of dried mint and bay leaf.
