August 22, 2015 - Wine Spectator Blind tasting class with David Glancy (San Francisco): Wine 6 - Red.
opaque ruby, ruby rim.
N: Buttery, tart cherry, savory, yeasty.
Ripe blackberries and tart cranberries (zin? Grenache? Syrah? millerandage?) Raisination.
P:
Elevated alcohol - 13.5% (14.8%).
High tannins, chewy. And also grippy from wood-influenced tannins.
Elevated acid.
Some used barrels.
-----------
Could be:
Spain - Toro, Ribera del duero. (no signs of oxidative aging though, and this is pretty high intensity).
Grenache - too much color.
Syrah - high tannins.
Malbec - acidity is high.
Zinfandel - Could be high-quality zin.
Petit verdot, tannat, alicante bouchet.
Zin except tannins are too grippy.
Could be Amarone della valpollicella, but color is too dark, no volatile acidity, there’s raisination but I don’t think the aciud is as high as David thinks it is.
100% Malbec, new French oak for 14-18 months.
Argentina, Mendoza. 2010.
David Glancy - this is Argentinian malbec on steroids - rip your face off.
Re-tasting the malbec:
This is dark, inky stuff. SLight reduction. Baked fruit - slightly raisinated. It’s been warm here!
Acid - elevated, maybe acidified.
Slight vegetal, root vegetable notes.
