Corazon del Sol Malbec 2016
Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaRoasted meats and smoked fruit quickly yield to peppery, green-edged sapid, wood notes. Acidity is brisk and punchy, and ample tannins are worn and sanded. There's a disconnect between acid and wood at this young age, but nothing that a side of grilled meat wouldn't mitigate. The fruit is grown among the rocky soils of Uco's Los Chacayes at 1200m altitude. It is aged for a year in second and third use French oak.Tasted: 05 November 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $35.95 | 750ml | consignment |
