Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CATENA |
This 2018 Appellation Agrelo is one of the best value Cabernet Sauvignon to come out of Argentina. Over all it shows outstanding harmony and lovely ripe Damson plum flavours with a lingering finish. Very deep intense purple colour, the nose shows lovely ripe plum-cherry puree fruit with a touch of slightly spicy cassis and gentle cedar notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, harmonious, elegant, intense, ripe Damson plum flavours with a lingering, very bright, cedar-tinged finish. It has 13.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L20309 on the back label. The 2014 was released on April 1, 2017 at $22.95. |

TASTING NOTE: 2018 was a good year for Cabernet Sauvignon in the classical zone of Mendoza, and the peppery 2018 Appellation Agrelo Cabernet Sauvignon shows good ripeness and typicity. It is fresher than 2017 and with betterintegrated oak too. It's fruit driven and juicy, with fine-grained tannins, very representative of the variety. 46,600 bottles produced. Drink date: 2019-2022. Score - 92 (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Oct. 31, 2019) |
