Nieto Senetiner Terroir Blend Malbec 2009
Mendoza, ArgentinaA blend of three different soils and climates from Vistalba, Agrelo and Vista Flores to offer different aspects. Very peppery spicy, coffee, barnyard, leather, black cherry, floral mineral, prune, graphite and liquorice aromas with a vanilla streak. Ripe, round, dry and elegant but fresh and juicy. Pepper, graphite, liquorice floral, black cherry, plum, slate, earthy, vanilla and leather flavours. A bit fresh on the finish but good complexity and balance, needs 2-5 years. Very good effort.Tasted: 15 February 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:US | $30.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
