El Esteco Don David Reserve Tannat 2012
Cafayate, Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaThis Cafayate tannat opens with ink, dark chocolate and roast coffee, which are quickly squashed by massive, powdery and grippy tannins. While there is a fleeting cushion of attractive espresso rubbed black cherry, those tannins override immediately, and grip the short, warming finish to bitter astringency calling for big, fatty meat stews to counter.Tasted: 17 December 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $13.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
