Second review: October 5, 2021
Opaque ruby colour with dominant cassis and raspberry aromas woven with licorice, baking spices, pencil shavings and tobacco. The palate is fresh and flavoured with espresso, cherry, powdery cooca and tobacco. It has a classic Cabernet character and fine tannins.

Complete, supple, enjoyable.
The primary source of grapes for the Max come from the Errazuriz Aconcagua Valley estate, 90 km north of Santiago. It was aged in French oak (30% new) for 12 months for the purpose of malolactic fermentation and ageing.
Expect classic cassis and black raspberry, vanilla, pipe tobacco and brown spice aromas, which are woven with bay leaf, and shaved dark chocolate. The entry is supple, it's a well constructed and balanced wine offering wild berries, toasted spice and carob on the palate. Complete and enjoyable with notable persistence.

Second review: November 2023
Spiced plums and bitter chocolate, bay leaf and roasted bell peppers, espresso and black currents. The palate reflects the savouriness of the nose; plum and bay leaf, spice rub and coffee with bitter chocolate finish.

Savoury, ssubstantial, character.
The primary source of grapes for the Max come from the Errazuriz Aconcagua Valley estate, 90 km north of Santiago. It was aged in French oak.
Expect notes of smoked plums and black currents, dried bayleaf and pepper, black chocolate, charred herbs and toasted spices. It has notable salinity in the mouth along with black fruits, tobacco, dark mocha and brown spice. The tannins have chew and there is a brooding character here. A substantial wine with balanced acidity--a meat wine.
