Cuvelier Los Andes Grand Malbec 2006
Vista Flores, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaSmoky, spicy, black pepper, tobacco, resin, graphite, floral, coffee, five-spice, black cherry jam, kirsch, vanilla aromas with a touch of barnyard and saddle leather. Rich, round, full, ripe and supple with big concentration. Huge liquorice, black cherry jam, tobacco, peppery, clove, five spice, orange peel, mineral, coffee, cola, vanilla and mocha flavours. Great round tannins, big extract, broad structure. It's big and bold and sexy but just a bit too hot and tart on the end for greatness. A sipping wine.Tasted: 26 June 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:QC | $58.00 | 750ml |
