Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LA CELIA |
Unable to get a bottle for assessment from agent. Any item not tasted is assigned an interim ZERO-STAR (-) rating and an interim 0-POINT proxy score until properly assessed. The 2015 (*+/**) was released on December 8, 2018 at $14.95. Here is my previous note: Fairly deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, ripe plum nose with some herbal sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, slightly spicy, faintly herbal, dried plum flavours with a crisp unoaked finish. This blend of 80% Malbec and 20% Cabernet Franc has 13.5% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L154733 173961/18197 on the back label. |
