Crios Malbec by Susana Balbo Dominio de Plata 2013
Mendoza, ArgentinaCrios spends 9 months in a 50/50 mix of French and American oak giving the 95/5 mix of malbec and bonarda from Luján de Cuyo, Tunuyán and San Carlos (all above 1100 metres) a smooth, glossy attack. You will love its aromatic floral/violet, black fruit notes on the nose. The palate is a sweet and savoury mix of black fruit, spice in balanced measured way. Grilled beef and or chicken all work here.Tasted: 01 October 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:AB | $22.00 | 750ml | fine wine shops |
