Community Tasting Notes 6

  • GTFreek wrote:

    September 14, 2017 - 62/21/8/5/4 Malbec/Cabernet/Petit Verdot/Cab Franc/Merlot. Medium plus nose shows black plum, violets, mocha, baking spice, dark earth. Palate shows similar notes, blackberry, baking spice, cassis, nice layers of complexity, coffee grounds in there. Medium plus tannins, alcohol, body, and finish. Nice modern profile.

  • srh Likes this wine:

    February 18, 2017 - Argentinian Reds (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 64% Malbec, 18% C.S., 11% Merlot, 5% C.F., & 2% Petit Verdot

    N: Closed/muted; berries atop smoke & earth?

    P: Med, poss LM, body; Nice frt met by some mid palate pucker, which turns VERY slightly astringent by the long finish. I'd give this elegant, balanced style 6 mos or so, then drink thru '20 min.
    94 pts ea Tim Atkin & Decanter, 91 WE, 90 Vinous, & it looks like a 90 or 92 from WA
    Awards:
    Decanter World Wine Awards, 2016: Silver
    Wines of Argentina, 2016: Gold
    [It looks like this vendor's $33.95 is as competitive as any.]

    February 25, 2016 - Lots of oak

    Soft Malbec dominates could be a 40's Bordeaux

    November 8, 2015 - Dark berries, rustique like young north rhone wines. I wonder how the numina series will age. underlying cigar and olive tapanade.
