TERCOS BONARDA 2015 Mendoza |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
RICARDO SANTOS |
Unable to get a bottle for assessment from the agent. A fourth REPEAT of the 2015 (*/*+) was released on January 11, 2020 at $15.95. Here is my previous note: Deep intense purple colour. Herbal, somewhat peppery, leather, plum-apple nose. Dry, medium bodied, spicy, baked apple-plum flavours with a faintly bitter, somewhat peppery finish. This REPEAT has 13.8% alcohol and now 3 g/L residual sugar with the SAME lot number LTCB015 on the back label. It wasn’t very good last time and is even worse today! I would definitely not rely on the very old, high, 93-point James Suckling score quoted in the Vintage Catalogue. |

TASTING NOTE: A sexy bonarda with fresh mushroom, blackberry and smoke. Full and tight with lots of dark fruit, soya, and cooked shiitake mushroom. Very long and flavorful. Drink now. Score - 93 (jamessuckling.com, May 20, 2016) |
