EXPRESIVO 2014 Uco Valley, Mendoza |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BENMARCO |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, spicy, ripe black cherry-cassis-plum nose with some cedar notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, tangy, black-cherry-cassis-plum flavours with lots of cedar notes on the lingering, mocha-chocolate-tinged finish. Still need time to evolve. This blend of 80% Malbec and 20% Cabernet Franc comes in an extremely heavy bottle with 14.5% alcohol and lot number L15102-31/08/16 on the back label. The 2008 (**/**+) with 88.5-points was released on December 10, 2011 at $36.95. ARGENTINA Feature (12 items). |

TASTING NOTE: This is great wine with fabulous transparency and clarity showing blackberry, blueberry and floral character. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a superb finish. 80% malbec and 20% cabernet franc. A wine that gives pleasure now but will be even better in 2020. Score - 96 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, May 20, 2016) |
