Kaiken Ultra Malbec 2014

Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaA more streamlined profile in a cooler 2014 with peppery, rosemary/thyme/dried wild herbs fronting notes of licorice and black cherry. The palate is pure savoury black fruit flavours with minimal oak (only 1/3 new) showing through. There is fine freshness and complexity in the finish that calls for grilled meats or a piece of creamy cheese to best enhance the wine and the food. Solid for the price. Malbec Ultra fruit is all Uco Valley from multiple altitudes and soil types in Vistaflores (1,400 m.a.s.l.) Gualtallary (1,300 m.a.s.l) and Altamira (1,100 m.a.s.l.)Tasted: 11 April 2017Tasted by: Prices:
