Zuccardi Emma Zuccardi Bonarda 2012
Mendoza, ArgentinaSmoky, savoury, peppery, meaty, black plum, floral and celery salt aromas. Round, full, juicy, smooth palate with licorice, sage, black plum, iodine, savoury, cherry flavours. Good balance and intensity here for current drinking or over the next 2 years. Fine effort for bonarda. Forty percent of this wine is aged in concrete, the rest in new and used oaked. Love the super juicy fruit and soft tannins.Tasted: 10 December 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
