| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
ALMA NEGRA |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, juicy, spicy, warm plum-cherry-blueberry nose with some cedary notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, very bright, juicy, ripe plum-cherry-blueberry flavours with a lingering, very crisp, somewhat cedary finish. This recent bottling (lot number L1415514198 on the back label) is quite ready-to-drink. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2011 Alma Negra "M" Blend, which consists of Bonarda and Malbec, has a very fine, slightly estuarine note that turns into a more floral, rose petal scent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a nice fatness to the tannins. It seems to have a little more extraction, but it remains pure and balanced with an elegant, satisfying finish of dark plum, red currant and minerals that sing harmoniously together. Excellent. Drink 2013-2020. Score - 90 (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, Oct. 2012) |
