Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, gently cedary finish. Quite ready-to-drink. This wine has 13.9% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L18236 on the back label. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BEST BUY - Earthy, spicy, black fruit nose with a cedary note; medium to full-bodied, dry, rich blackberry flavour with balancing acidity and a firm tannic finish.

TASTING NOTE: If the fruit from Gualtallary provides the backbone here, then La Consulta adds some flesh and weight. Co-fermented with 10% Malbec and aged in concrete and old barrels, it shows a lovely interplay between graphite and green pepper flavours and polished tannins. Drink Date: 2017-2024. Score - 93 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Argentina Special Report 2017) |
