LIMITED EDITION RED BLEND 2013 Mendoza |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CRIOS |
Very deep intense purple colour. Fairly complex, slightly spicy, ripe cherry-plum puree nose with some cedar notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, tangy, ripe cherry-plum flavours with a lingering, slightly spicy, cedary finish. Screwcap closure. This attractive, ready-to-drink repeat (with the same lot number) is not quite up to the recommended best buy 2013 (**+) released on July 11, 2015 at $14.95. An October 31 Vintages Release Value Highlight. |

TASTING NOTE: An opaque purple red with aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate and smokey black cherry with some well integrated oak spice. The palate is very juicy with mouthwatering lemony acidity and fine mature tannin for balance. Good to very good length. Tightly wound. Needs an hour or two in a decanter, best to cellar for a couple of years. Best 2016 to 2020. Score - 88 (Steve Thurlow, winealign.com, May 8, 2015) |
