The flagship wine from the Don Maximiano Estate it is complex with beautifully ripe fruit, smooth tannins, great concentration & a long finish. A deep reddish-violet colour, our Don Maximiano 2011 features red fruit aromas of cherries & strawberries, along with notes of cassis, plums & figs. Its fruity character is enveloped by emerging aromas that recall cloves, cinnamon, & liquorice along with a hint of toasted chestnut. Good amplitude & great depth result in a balanced wine with fine-grained tannins. The palate recalls the fruit aromas perceived on the nose, accompanied by notes of cocoa & coffee, & touches of pencil lead & truffle. The acidity lends a juicy mouthfeel that gives way to a lingering finish with excellent persistence. Overall, it is a wine with tremendous complexity & elegance that presages a very favourable evolution in the bottle. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Carmenere, 10% Petit Verdot, 5% Malbec.
