Tasting Notes
This is the second release of Baettig's "village" Cabernet Sauvignon, Los Compadres, which also gets a new label from the 2023 vintage. The fruit comes from a selection of parcels in the Maule, averaging an impressive 50 years in age. Pure Cabernet Sauvignon, it spent 10 months in 10% new French oak. It's a lovely follow-up to the 2022, floral and elegant with firm tannins that offer a pleasing bitterness. These are complemented by a silky mid-palate and a wave of vibrant cassis fruit that fills the finish.
