Vistalba, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Some earthy raisin on the nose. This must be left on the vine extra long. Dark, overripe raspberry in the nose. Such a mouthful. Tastes like amarone. All raisin up front. Some extraordinarily varied earth flavors mid palate. Spice and tannin and rock and petroleum. Some ethanol and mint. Some pronounced dark chocolate in the finish. Really a whirlwind of extraordinary flavors that typically oppose one another, but here are all remarkably composed and part of the journey. Big but nuanced.
