DOMINO DEL PLATA |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, bright, ripe plum-cherry puree nose with some cedary, mocha-chocolate notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, harmonious, juicy, ripe cherry-plum flavours with a lingering, slightly cedary, very faintly herbal, mocha-chocolate-tinged finish. Tasted twice and ready-to-drink. This REPEAT has 14% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with a new lot number L15K18 17/07/17 on the back label. Screwcap closure. TONY ASPLER / 88.5-points / BEST BUY - Spicy plum and vanilla oak bouquet; medium-bodied, dry, fruity but firm with a touch of oak. Easy drinking. |

TASTING NOTE: The grapes for the 2015 Críos Malbec are sourced exclusively in the Valle de Uco, from Los Chacayes, Vista Flores, Los Árboles and Gualtallary Sur to be precise. This cold and wet vintage helped achieve the drinkability and freshness they aim for in this wine. It fermented in stainless steel and part of the wine matured in well seasoned, neutral French oak barrels for nine months. There are some toasty notes and a core of perfectly ripe berries. The palate is fresh and balanced, quite tasty. A Críos with less makeup. Drink date: 2016-2019. Score - 90 (Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) |
