Description:
What jumps out first and foremost is the cedary, plummy bouquet accented by fresh minerals, reminiscent of a fine red Graves – that is the indelible nose of Cousiño! On the palate, a solid core of concentrated black fruits is framed by light toasty oak and ripe, well-tempered tannins. Overall, the impression is of a wine that is supple and sophisticated, which is exactly what Finis Terrae is and has always been, despite its newly modest price. Although quite enjoyable now, the 2008 Finis Terrae is well structured, with an aging ability of 7 to 9 years. Decant one half hour before serving. |

| The 2008 Finis Terrae is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 5% Syrah aged for 14 months in 65% new French barriques. It proffers an enticing perfume of exotic spices, balsam wood, tobacco, lavender, and assorted red and black fruits. In the glass it displays enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years and will deliver prime drinking from 2013 to 2023. At the modest asking price, it is an outstanding value.
