Baron Philippe de Rothschild Escudo Rojo Baronesa P. 2021

Baron Philippe de Rothschild Escudo Rojo Baronesa P. 2021 is a premium Bordeaux-style red blend that serves as a tribute to Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and represents the pinnacle of the estate's Chilean winemaking. Sourced from the finest micro-terroirs of the Maipo Valley, this wine is characterized by its intense ruby-red colour with violet highlights and a complex bouquet of black fruit, cedarwood, and toasted hazelnuts. The palate is lush and concentrated, offering elegantly structured tannins balanced by a natural freshness and an exceptionally persistent finish. It is matured for 17 months in French oak barrels (65% new) to ensure a harmonious integration of fruit and oak, providing significant cellaring potential. 

96 Points - James Suckling

Very ripe and opulent but pretty fresh at the same, with plenty of blackberries, some fresh figs, dark chocolate and flowers. Very concentrated on the full-bodied palate with ripe, densely packed tannins. Rich, very flavorful and long. Pretty hedonistic for 2021. Flamboyant, flavorful and extravagant. 17 months in barrels, of which 50% is new oak.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Ripe berries and earthy tones introduce a bold Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from the Maipo Valley. Finely grained tannins hold a palate that bursts with dark chocolate notes and bright strawberry, raspberry and plum flavors. Optimal acidity adds freshness and extends notes of oregano and other dried herbs into the finish.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

A harmonious red that leads with savory olive, cassis and cigar box details, with a graphite hint to the densely packed core of blackberry, plum and cassis. There's nice persistence, with acidity moving things to the finish around well-integrated tannins and a lingering berry note. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. Drink now through 2040.
