<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For norske Alexander Vik er målet klart. Han vil lave den bedste rødvin – i verden!</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Med hjælp fra Patrick Valette (søn af Chateau Pavies tidligere ejer og oplært hos Robert Mondavi) fandt Alexander det bedst egnede terroir: den hidtil uopdyrkede Milahue Valley i Cachapoal (Rapel Valley).</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I 2006 lod Alexander den jomfruelige dal beplante med intet mindre end 4400 hektar vinplanter, hvorfra kun de allerbedste druer finder vej til det fabelagtige flagskib ”VIK". </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">- En direkte udfordrer til de ikoniske rødvine fra Bordeaux, Napa Valley og Bolgheri.  </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Leveres i 6 stk originale trækasser.</span></span></p> <h2><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Smagenote</strong></span></span></h2> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>Fortættet dybrød i glasset. Næsen er intens og kompleks med fortryllende duft af hindbær, kirsebær, blomster, solbær, nyslået græs, mynte, tobak og cedertræ.  I munden vidner alene vinens tekstur om høj, høj klasse. Frugten følger flot op med en friskhed, nuancerigdom og koncentration, der med lethed matcher stor Bordeaux! Lang eftersmag med fine, tætte taninner samt komplekse hints af balsamico og mokka. Drik nu, eller gem +25 år fra høståret.</em></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><em><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><u>VIK Winery er verdens 10. bedste vinproducent! </u><br />Kåret i den eksklusive konkurrence World's Best Vineyards 2020 - og rangeret foran Opus One, Chateau Margaux og Pichon-Baron! </span></em></span></p> <h2><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Anmeldelser af Viña Vik “VIK” 2013</strong></span></span></h2> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>98/100 Tasting Panel</strong></span></em></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px; color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>97/100 Wine Review Online</strong></span> <br />"VIK is the flagship wine and the icon of the winery, a rich red blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 14% Carmenere, and 2% Merlot.  Sticking with the book analogies, VIK is the literary classic that will stand the test of time.  It has a riveting complexity, like a great classic book that challenges you.  The palate is graceful and expansive, unfolding with layers of blackberry, cassis, currant, and a hint of cigar wrapper.  The wine resonates with supreme freshness beside fine-grained tannins.  It conveys a timeless “Old World” elegance but retains the essence of the dynamic Chilean terroir."   </em></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>96/100 James Suckling</strong></span><br />“Aromas of flowers, currants, fresh mint and Thai basil.

It comes from an ambitious young estate started just over a decade ago by Alex and Carrie Vik. The wine spends 23 months in a new French oak barrels. Winemaker Cristian Vallejo explains the estate has followed a quality path since day one, with very dense plantings of varieties researched to suit each of the 12 valleys spanned by their estate. They are even planning to use barrels from their own oak forest, and amphorae made from clay found on the estate. Great creamy depth here, a little hint of olive and then dry, savoury black fruit, some tobbaco and more exotic spices, but mostly about the fruit. In the mouth truly sumptuous, with great fruit sweetness and creaminess across the mid-palate, concentrated, but with lovely cherry-fresh juiciness, creamy tannins too, but the oak just caressing and supporting rather than dominating the picture. Very impressive."</em></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>94/100 Din VinGuide</strong></span><br />"Flot og lidt urtet næse. Intens og fyldig i smagen med solmodne solbær, tobak, krydderier og vanilje. Den rette balance mellem det solmodne og så elegancen med syren og fadet. En flot og gennemført vin med en lang, vedvarende afslutning.
