Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Malbec
Region: Mendoza
Vintage: 2013
Alcohol: 14.5%
Colour: Deep Purple-to-almost-brown
Closure: Cork
Bouquet: Some menthol, mulberry and dry bark aromas
Flavour: Plummy flavours with plenty of juicy tannin giving very nice length. Some peppery undertones in the mix as well as the smallest amount of alcohol burn. A lot to take in.
Points: 83 (3+6.5+10+7+6.5+50)
Notes: Big and bold for an early week Christmas tipple with a mate who enjoys Malbec. The menthol in the nose and slight burn tarnished it for me. ABout $15.60~280Kc bought earlier this year. I have a 2010 floating around somewhere and should find it
