Antinori-Matte 2001 Albis Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)

Price $53

The inaugural wine from the joint venture between Piero Antinori and Haras de Pirque owner Eduardo Matte is, as might be expected, a rich, bruising, forceful red. The blend is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Carmenère and it exudes deep charcoal, smoke and black-fruit aromas. Next in line is a smooth but heady palate of cassis and herbal notes. The finish is oaky… — M.S. (8/1/2004)

Antinori-Matte 2002 Albis Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenère (Maipo Valley)

Price $55

Bulky and big, with initial green oak that morphs into coffee and vanilla. Red fruit in the mouth, with good tannins that create a plush feel. Lots of wood and espresso on the finish, with persistence. Expect better in 2003 from this Antinori-Matte joint venture; the inaugural ’01 was excellent. Imported by Remy Cointreau USA. — M.S.
