| HISTORIC RED BLEND 2018 Tupungato, Mendoza |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
D.V. CATENA |
| There is no question that this 2018 is a tad better than the previous recommended 2017 that was released on December 7, 2019 at $19.95. It has a very deep intense purple colour and a gently juicy, spicy, ripe plum-black cherry puree nose with some sandalwood-cedar notes. Dry, medium bodied, well balanced, spicy, juicy, ripe plum-cherry puree flavours with a lingering, high acid, gently cedary, mocha-chocolate-tinged finish. This blend of 72% Malbec, 21% Bonarda and 7% Petit Verdot. has 13.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L21055 on the back label. |

| TASTING NOTE: Wonderful aromas of dried strawberries, flowers and lemons. Full-bodied with a lovely, fluid center palate that is sweetly fruity and a long, long finish. Love this wine. 72 per cent malbec, 21 per cent bonarda and seven per cent petit verdot. Drink now [till 2025]. Score - 94 (jamessuckling.com, March 27, 2019) |
