Luigi Bosca Malbec Single Vineyard DOC 2013
Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThe single vineyard D.O.C. Luigi Bosca Malbec could easily just stand for Double Oak Centric. So much wood here, it overrides all the dense fruit afforded by 70-year-old vines at nearly 1000m altitude in the Finca La Linda vineyard, Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo. That said, potent and fragrant plum, violets, blackberries, mulberries, medicinal cherries still poke through the rustic headiness afforded by ample extraction and fourteen months in new French oak. This will tame with time in the bottle, but for now there is too much oak awkwardly sticking out the back end; it's too much of too much. Hold for three years and try again.Tasted: 11 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
