MANOS NEGRAS |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, cooked, hot, baked plum nose with some cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, slightly spicy, baked plum flavours with a lingering, cedary, pimento-tinged, somewhat peppery finish. A 14% alcohol blend of 92% Malbec and 8% Cabernet Franc that was recently bottled (see lot number L-14202 or in other words July 21, 2014 on the back label) meaning that it could not be the same batch that was awarded 92-points by Neal Martin way back in October 2012 as persimmon the Vintages Catalogue! |

| TASTING NOTE: The [2010] Atrevida is a blend of 92% Malbec and 8% Cabernet Franc raised in French oak for nine months, 10% new. It has a lifted, gregarious bouquet of boysenberry, blueberry jam, orange peel and honey that is very well-defined and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with supremely well-delineated tannins. It is an exquisitely balanced, beguiling wine that is caressing in the mouth, its silky finish almost Burgundian in style. Delicious from start to finish, this comes highly recommended. Drink now-2020. Score - 92 (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, Oct. 2012) |
