Kaiken Reserva Especial Malbec 2015
Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaDense, thick and syrupy on the palate, with heady wood, cedar staves and sweet, smoked cassis coating the full palate. Overtly wooded, this youthful wine needs time to settle so the potent cassis and blackberry can stand up. Tannins are blunt and sticky and the finish short and stunted. At this stage, too out of sync to enjoy. This spends six month in French oak.Tasted: 11 April 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $15.00 | 750ml | |
