2017 – 2030
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Domus Aurea showed a penetrating nose with plenty of aromatic herbs, dried flowers, pollen and spices with a brightness of fruit that sets it apart from the rest of Cabernet from Maipo. The vineyard has some 4% Cabernet Franc intermixed in the old vineyard (planted in 1970) that is used for this wine. It's very balsamic and with a tasty palate with abundant, fine-grained tannins with the classical Cabernet texture. This is always balanced and elegant, quite traditional and expressing the place from which it comes. 31,900 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2015.
I visited the Quebrada de Macul vineyards and tasted a couple of old vintages of Domus Aurea, including the 2002, which is the first one produced by current winemaker Jean-Pascal Lacaze, and the 1996, which is the first year it was produced. Both wines are still sound and evolving nicely, of course with more developed aromas, and the spices turn into aromas of merken (a Chilean spice mix) and brick dust, with rusticity (character) and elegance. The wines have always been produced in exactly the same way.
