LA POSTA |
| This is one of now 51 items (135 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. This THIRD REPEAT last appeared in Vintages (NEVER PRESENTED) on August 31, 2019 and December 8, 2018 at $15.95. Assessed from a sample provided by the listing agent. Extremely intense deep purple colour. Very juicy, intense, ripe black cherry purée nose with lots of spicy, cedary notes plus some hints of mocha-chocolate. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, spicy, tangy, intense, ripe, plummy-black-cherry flavours with a lingering, rather cedary, high acid finish. The best to date, this juicy crowd-pleaser has 13% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. |

A Best Buy |
| 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, Jan. 22,2019) |
