Is Gran Reserva a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Soft, warm and round. Deep and dark red color. Stylish nose of ripe black currants, tea leaves, mocha and minty whiffs. Ripe and sweet fruit, yet still fresh and balanced with a nice acidity underpinning the well extracted fruit.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The wine has a lovely colour, dense and deep with a slight ruby tint, and a full, generous nose that reveals attractive blackcurrant, liquorice and cherry brandy aromas with spicier touches of nutmeg. Round and rich on the palate, its chocolate, vanilla, caramel and pepper notes are underpinned by a stylish tannic structure, powerful but restrained. The long, full-bodied and expressive finish combines tannins refined by the maturing process with delicious and persistent fruit and roasted coffee flavours.
Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva is a Chilean red made from Cabernet Sauvignon. It sits in the $15–30 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $21.59. It is bottled in Maipo Valley.
