The Wine
Domaine Barons de Rothschild (best known for the £1,000+ reds of Château Lafite Rothschild in Pauillac) decided to invest in the Los Vascos winery in Chile in 1988. Today Los Vascos is considered one of the most important wineries in Chile and its top red, Le Dix, is one of the most highly regarded labels in the country. It's a classic Chilean Cabernet with a touch of Syrah, full of fruit for immediate appeal but with a strong ageing potential. The 95-point 2018 offers exceptional richness and balance, described by James Suckling as "flavorful, polished and long". It's still young, so open early and decant, or cellar for 2-3 years longer. You will be rewarded with a rich, velvety claret style, with Chilean ripeness and great complexity.
