| YACOCHUYA 2006 Cafayate, Calchaquí Valley, Salta |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
Michel Rolland |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, spicy, baked plum nose with lots of cedary notes. Dry, full bodied, extracty, dense, stewed plum-cherry flavours with lots of lingering, cedary notes. This third repeat of the 2006 (**+) was released on October 26, 2013 at only $49.95. Each batch is different in terms of alcohol. This preferred new 2006 has 16.3% alcohol vs. 16.1% for the previous one! TONY ASPLER / 89-points - Dense purple-black color; cedary, spicy baked plum nose; full-bodied, plum and prune flavours. You can safely ignore the 94-point tasting note appearing in the Vintages Catalogue from December 2008. |

| Eight years on since Jay Miller's review, this fully mature wine will be showing even more dried fruit character and smooth, round tannins. TASTING NOTE: The 2006 Yacochuya is a wine that number crunchers will despise (16% alcohol, 4.09 pH) and that hedonists will go ga-ga over. Made from 100% Malbec and aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak, it offers up a veritable cocktail of prunes, plums, and even dates that leapfrogs from the glass. Full-bodied, fat, and succulent, to say that it has gobs of flavor is an understatement. Somewhere in this wine there is enough structure and baby fat to carry it through 2020. It's akin to getting a full-body massage through the mouth. Drink: 2008-2020. Score - 94 (Jay Miller, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2008) |
