Trapiche Malbec Single Vineyard Viña Finca Suarez Lastra 2010
La Consulta, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThis is one of a series of single vineyard premium malbecs from Trapiche. Keep a watchful eye out for Orellana De Escobar and Ambrosia as well. This locale is drilled down to Altamira, La Consulta, San Carlos, Valle de Uco, Mendoza and from a lofty altitude of 1072 meters. It opens with aromatic ripe black fruit and dark flowers, grilled wood and light graphite. The finely smoked palate is rich with cassis, figs, espresso, tobacco, ripe and dried blackberry and a bitter chocolate blueberry note on the finish. Fresh and succulent acidity throughout, ensuring the drinkability of the wine today (where's the beef?) even though tannins are structured and sternly steadfast. This full-bodied wine will continue to reward in the years to come. Tasted: 16 December 2014Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $45.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Philippe Dandurand Wines |
