Let’s face it, my scores for Indomita’s wines have never been very high. But this high-end, best-of-lot Cabernet is excellent and an eye-catcher. The nose of mocha, coconut, blackberry and herbs is classic Maipo Valley, while the mouth is lush, correct and full of sweet cherry, cassis and tobacco flavors. Comfortable throughout, with unbreakable smoothness. Drink…

A nice follow-up to the excellent ’08 Zardoz, this is earthy and roasted smelling, full of cola and berry notes on the nose. It feels round and smooth, with a mild tannic bite and baked flavors of blackberry, cassis and chocolate. It’s layered feeling on the finish, with a bit of syrupy residue.

Begins with lightly spiced aromas of dried red fruit, tomato leaf and herb. Feels smooth and thick, with chewiness and soft tannins. Flavors of strawberry, raspberry and plum come with creamy tasting oak and affiliated butter and vanilla. Stocky and rich on the finish.

Crusty, herbal aromas form a typical Maipo opening; add in eucalyptus, dry berry notes, char and olive aromas and it’s straight from the textbook. Feels full, chewy and meaty, with cassis, herbal accents and toasty flavors. Shows good length and herbal, chocolaty finishing flavors.

Solid and composed on the bouquet, with aromas of black fruit, dry earth, dust and tobacco coming together as a good whole. Features proper flow and balance, with flavors of cola, burnt toast and blackberry. Falls off on the finish.

Creamy and sweet on the bouquet, with pear and apple aromas and toasty oak that includes the scent of cinnamon. Feels weighty, maybe a bit mealy, with matching flavors of melon and citrus that are sweet and pithy. Modest on the finish, it’s pleasant as a whole.

Rough at first, with hard cherry and nail polish aromas. Airing reveals a still-edgy wine with fresh acids bracing earthy strawberry and red plum flavors. Not a heavy type of wine; dry, spicy and lean on the finish.

Granular, baked-fruit aromas are dominant, while the palate is soft and a bit hot, with sticky plum pudding flavors. Turns more sweet, candied and medicinal as it opens, while the finish is peppery and herbal.
