| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CALLEJÓN DEL CRIMEN |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Attractive, slightly spicy, juicy, ripe plum-cherry puree nose with some cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, well structured, harmonious, slightly spicy, attractive, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, bright, somewhat cedary finish. This repeat with a new lot number (140113) is not quite up to the recommended 2008 (**+) released on December 7, 2013 at $22.95. |

| With more than seven years under its belt, expect this wine to have begun to evolve some dried fruit and leather character in addition to fresh fruit. TASTING NOTE: The 2008 Callejon del Crimen Malbec Gran Reserva exhibits a similar personality with loads of black cherry fruit and a sense of elegance. It, too, will evolve for several years and drink well through 2023. Score - 92 (Jay Miller, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2011) |
