The red 2018 Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec, 7% Carmenere, 5% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc that fermented in stainless steel, open vats and eggs and matured in French oak barrels, 65% of them new, for 22 months. The oak is perfectly integrated, and the wine has a fresh profile with 13.5% alcohol and a creamy texture with refined tannins and a long, dry and vibrant finish.
This is a serious wine, somewhat a little shy, pure, balanced ad subtle, very complete and with integrated oak. It's juicy but also fine and probably the best of the modern vintages so far. 64,193 bottles produced. It is bottled in three lots from a single master blend.
Errázuriz celebrated its 150th anniversary, as the winery was created in 1870. They are one of the quality leaders of Chile despite producing 4.8 million bottles per year. 2020 and 2017 were super warm, and 2019 was moderately warm and somewhat flying under the radar after the stellar 2018. I was very pleasantly surprised by the 2019s, in some cases better than the 2018s and also the Max line that showed superb -Reviewed by: Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate, Aug 31, 2021.
