LA POSTA |
| Deep intense purple colour. Gently spicy, ripe blueberry-plum-cherry compote nose with some cedar-black pepper notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, slightly spicy, very tangy, somewhat tart plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, fairly crisp, somewhat cedary finish. Not up to the 2013 (*+/**) released on February 7, 2015 at $15.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2014 Malbec Pizzella Vineyard is from Altamira. The vineyard was originally 17 hectares and the owner planted an additional 12 (and is planting yet more), so there is room to grow. This is the most harmonious, elegant, and at the same time backward, of the three single-vineyard Malbecs. Not as showy as the others in the palate either as the tannins are austere and the chalky minerality sticks to your teeth. The differences between the three Malbecs is clear as they each reflect where the grapes grow. The riper, warmer one from Ugarteche, the fresher, higher acidity wine from Tupungato and the one with more depth from here (Altamira). Superb value! Drink: 2015- 2018. Score - 90 (Luis Gutierrez, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2015) |
