   The 2014 Azul is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc from a five-hectare plot in Las Pircas. It fermented with natural yeasts and matured in oak barrels, 20% of them new, for no less than 18 months. The wine is quite ripe and has 15.4% alcohol, a characteristic of the very stony soils. 2014 was a very dry year (the seventh consecutive year of drought) with 30% lower yields, and winemaker Jean-Pascal Lacaze considers it one of the best years he has seen since he started there. This is truly phenomenal, a classical Maipo wine. It's a concentrated and compact wine, still young and with the alcohol very integrated. If you want to experience a powerful and characterful Macul from Maipo, this could be it. It has good balance and fine tannins.
