Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LA CELIA |
Very deep intense purple colour. Intense, youthful, spicy, baked plum-cherry nose with some cedar notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, spicy, intense, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, fairly high-acid, still youthful, cedary finish. A second bottle had some faint tannic, bitter notes on the finish. This youthful blend of 93% Malbec, 5% Syrah, 2% Cabernet Franc has 14.5% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L152002-17387/18186 on the back label. |

TASTING NOTE: 93% Malbec, 5% Syrah, 2% Cabernet Franc. Lots of dark black fruit, graphite and creamy oak notes on the nose and palate. Tannins are well balanced - not drying. Overall, a very well made wine with a long, chalky finish and bags of personality. Score - 95 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2017) |
