LA POSTA |
| The 2017 that appears in the Vintages Catalogue was not presented at the press and/or consultants previews in the LCBO lab. Here is my note on the new bottling of 2016 with a new lot number L18047 on the lower part of the glass bottle that was in the lab. Very intense deep purple colour. Gently spicy, faintly herbal, baked, plum-cherry nose with some cedary, tea-tinged notes. Dry, medium to medium-light bodied, spicy, tangy, slightly baked, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, gently cedary, very faintly bitter, high acid finish. This REPEAT has 13% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. The 2016 (**) was last released on December 9, 2017 at $15.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: Lots of black licorice to this malbec as well as citrus, bark and some moss. Tightly wound with firm tannins, driven acidity and a very minerally finish. Drink now. Score - 93 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, April 5, 2018) |
