Le Dix de Los Vascos
Colchagua
Vintage 2009
The vintage was characterized by very favourable conditions of humidity and temperature, from blooming to the harvest. Vineyard management focused on ensuring low yields and maintaining a controlled irrigation to reach appropriate hydric conditions for the vines.
In order to obtain consistency among the various lots destined to Le Dix, multispectral aerial photographies were used in parallel with chemical analyses to monitor maturity and berry tasting. The result clearly reveals the quality potential of the wine and the concentration of the fruit issued from these vineyards.
Le Dix shows a deeply red robe with purple shades. The nose displays ripe and intense red and black fruit aromas with lasting freshness. Ageing in barrels made at Lafite’s cooperage grants the wine nice toasty, vanilla, and cinnamon notes that perfectly combine with blackcurrant, blueberry, cherry, and blackberry, with caramel, licorice, black chocolate and assorted peppers.
Powerful and complex in the mouth. Strong, full-bodied yet delicate and elegant tannins.
An unmistakable invitation to enjoy a round, consistent and prolonged finish.
