Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 95 Points (2019)

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Casa Real, from Alto Jahuel, spent 20 months in barrels, 83% of them new. Garnet red with purple sheen. The nose presents black currant, blackberry, cedar, balsamic and ashy notes from the aging process as well as orange peel, graphite, and a minty backdrop. The best qualities are the broad, polished tannins and the silky feel. Lingers at length at the back of the mouth, leading to a fruity, complex finish followed by an aftertaste of sour cherry.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 93 Points (2019)

Densely flavored, but remarkably polished and elegant, this red unfolds around a core of raspberry coulis and rooibos tea flavors, swelling with energy midpalate and gaining details of floral cassis, and chai spices. Ends with tremendous length, displaying suave, well-integrated tannins and an echo of espresso bean. Drink now through 2028.

Robert Parker (RP) : 93 Points (2019)

It doesn't get much more classical than the 2019 Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon, a textbook example of a Maipo Cabernet with the list of classical descriptors: lead pencil, cedar wood, blackcurrants, mint, balsam, earth and spice. It's juicy and ripe without excess, with 14.5% alcohol, a soft palate and round tannins and a dry finish 14,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021 after 20 months in barrel, 82% of them new, but the oak is neatly integrated in the wine.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 93 Points (2019)

Aromas of green bell pepper, tobacco, and black fruit fill up the bouquet of this smooth wine sourced from old vines in Alto Jahuel. On the palate, hints of spices appear alongside ripe black cherries, plum, blueberry, and oaky flavors. It has firm tannins and lingering chocolate notes on the finish.

James Suckling (JS) : 93 Points (2019)

Savory anise and red peppercorn with herbal black cherries, damsons and undergrowth. This is a tight and bright cabernet on the palate, showing exuberant red berries and firm but round tannins. Fluent, quite long and spicy. Drink or hold.

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 92 Points (2019)

This powerfully structured wine grows at a hillside parcel on Santa Rita’s estate in Alto Jahuel, a massal selection of cabernet planted in the 1970s. Sleek and substantial, balancing sweet black cherry and the bitter-almond tension of oak, this may be youthfully impacted, but it still comes across as friendly. Irina Sargisova, of Brooklyn’s Rooftop Reds winery, was drawn to the floral side of the fruit: “pomegranate and roses,” pointing to the complexity to come with age.
