CUVELIER |
One of 71 items (57% of 124 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. Any item not tasted is assigned an interim ZERO-STAR (-) rating and an interim 0-POINT proxy score until properly assessed. The 2011 last appeared in Vintages (*) on May 14, 2016 at $32.95. Here is my previous note: Deep intense purple colour. Spicy, very cedary, mocha-chocolate nose with lots of stewed fruit. Somewhat sweetish, medium to medium-full bodied, spicy, mature, stewed plum-cherry flavours with a somewhat volatile, salty-sappy-cedary finish. This blend of 58% Malbec,18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 8% Syrah and 4% Merlot and Petit Verdot has lot number L-2011-1 on the back label. Tasted once. The 2009 (*+) was released on December 8, 2012 at $21.95. |

TASTING NOTE: Adrián Manchón uses 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot in this blend with Malbec. It's a ripe, savoury, berry fruity red with serious, fine-grained tannins, subtle use of oak and a rich, fruitcakey finish. Drink date: 2019-2024. Score - 92 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Argentina Special Report 2018) |
