VIK 2012
VIK by Viña VIK is a super premium red wine blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (53%), Carménère (35%), Cabernet Franc (6%), Merlot (4%) and Syrah (2%). The wine offers a very classic nose of blackcurrant, cassis and graphite with a charming natural ripeness. There is real elegance here, perfumed fruit complemented by an earthy minerality. Tannins build on the palate, fruit-coated and plush yet assertive, revealing the ageing potential to be had. Accessible now, it will be even better in a few years.
