MALBEC 2014 Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
VERSADO |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Very faintly reedy, spicy, still quite youthful, slightly baked, ripe plum-cherry-apple nose with some savoury, cedary, lead pencil notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, quite well structured, savoury, slightly spicy, intense, fairly dense, ripe, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, cedary, very faintly bitter finish. Unfortunately, there is no technical sheet on the winery website so the details on this 2014 and the total acidity is missing. It has 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. The recommended 2013 (**/**+) with 88.5-points was last released (for third time) on February 18, 2017 at only $19.95. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BUY - Tobacco, blackberry, cedar and pencil lead nose with a light floral note; medium-bodied, dry, savoury, plum flavour with lively acidity and a firm finish. |

TASTING NOTE: Hand-picked in vineyards 1000 metres above sea level, this Malbec is the handiwork of Canadian winemaking power couple Ann Sperling and Peter Gamble. It offers rich blackberry, blueberry and herbal notes neatly contoured by excellent structure. Pair it with herb-crusted steak and chimichurri. (Vintages panel, May 2017) |
