Score 85/100 · Drink 2012, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Dec 2012

The 1999 Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an austere, tobacco-led, Medoc nose with fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannins and a drying, meaty finish. Drink now. Santa Rita was founded in 1880 by Domingo Fernandez in the Maipo Valley and was one of the pioneers for planting European grape varieties. Importer: Palm Bay International, Boca Raton, FL; tel. (561) 362-9642

Much lighter bottle than the 2001 and 2002. Cork broke though and was impossible to extract fully. Powerful ripe cassis/Cabernet aromas. A bit of heat and dust on the finish though no hint of the underripe notes that can plague inexpensive Chilean reds. Still a little tannin on the finish.  A serious, ambitious wine with real presence in the mouth and an attractively appetising dry finish.  (JR)
