Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LA POSTA |
Assessed from a bottle purchased at the LCBO. Very deep intense purple colour. Youthful, spicy, juicy, ripe black cherry purée nose with some vanilla-cedar notes. Dry, medium bodied, harmonious, well structured, quite spicy, intense, juicy, tangy, ripe, plummy-cherry purée flavours with a fairly cedary, harmonious, mouth-filling finish with nice lively acidity. Versatile, reasonably priced and ready-to-drink. This 100% Bonarda from Mendoza has 13.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L2005020107 on the back label. |

TASTING NOTE: I love the raspberry and anise nose of this crisp and juicy red that shows what the original grape of Mendoza can do when a grower takes it seriously. A great picnic wine for drinking right now! Score - 91 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, March 27, 2019) |
