Millahue 2022 VIK

Professional reviews

Jancis Robinson (99)

What a perfume: deep, rich and complex. Minerals are chiseled into the opulent, minty blackberries, black licorice and tamarind with a touch of balsamic. Judicious oak, integrated sandalwood and dark chocolate as well. Full-bodied with a lot of refined, small-grained tannins. A persistent finish that lingers and goes on and on. 79% cabernet franc and 21% cabernet sauvignon. Concentrated, but will soften more in two or three years.

Vinous (95)

The 2022 VIK is 79% Cabernet Franc and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon from Millahue. This aged for 26 months in 55% new in-house barrels and 14% in amphorae. Blackberry and blueberry lead the nose, followed by ash, cedar and garrigue. Dry and flavorful, with fine structure and firm grip, this ends with a tense, persistent finish. The oak tannins are noticeable but well integrated.
