Trapiche Gran Medalla Malbec 2013
Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaGran Medalla was introduced to celebrate the winery's 125th anniversary, and remains a benchmark estate wine. From three plots of sandy loam soils at their Finca Los Arboles vineyard in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, this was native fermented in a concrete vat before 18 months into 80 percent new French oak barrels. The 2013 was a great vintage in Mendoza; this is showing lush, plush, mature fruit, with black currants, thorny cassis and violet leaves, held firm with grippy tannins. Quite potent and dense, thick with anise on the full palate, with a flush of heat on the spicy finish that requires red meats to tame. Old school style, modernized.Tasted: 04 November 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $23.00 | 750ml | BCLS |
