| | Baron Philippe de Rothschild Escudo Rojo 2001 - 67 Wine and Liquor - Wine Online - Spirits and Wine Retailer |
 | | "In Spanish, Escudo Rojo translates to “red shield,” which pays homage to the Rothschild name, originally derived from the German phrase “Das Rotte Schild.” Escudo Rojo is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Carmenere, a grape once found in pre-phylloxera Bordeaux, and more recently, one of Chile’s more interesting varietals. |
 | | The wine bears the hallmarks of the classic Rothschild style, combining the unique terroir of Chile with the renowned skills of the Rothschild team, resulting in a wine of great beauty, depth, elegance, and character. |
 | | On the nose, the first impression is of the Carmenère grape, quickly followed by aromas of ripe fruit, cassis, raspberries and dried apricots, melded with balsamic tones of spice and tobacco. |
