El Esteco Fincas Notables Las Mercedes Tannat Cuartel No. 28 2015
Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaThe Fincas Notables labels draw its fruit from top blocks across its Calchaqui Valley estates. Point in question is plot 28, with sandy alluvial soils at 1700m in Cafayate. There is nothing shy about this dark, almost menacing black chocolate, espresso, smoky red that will thrill barbecue fans looking for a hefty style. It shows no sign of deterioration at six years of age, so fear not, it will easily age another decade. It as rich and as savoury as tannat can get, and a bit reminiscent of a 70s style tannat from southwest France. It is partially native fermented in new French oak barrels and aged for 15 months. A leg of lamb comes quickly to mind.Tasted: 01 March 2021Tasted by: Prices:

El Esteco Fincas Notables Las Mercedes Tannat Cuartel No. 28 2015
Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaThis dark, brooding tannat is only just starting to unwind itself at six years of age. It's a wine that's as much about savoury accents like graphite and tar as it is judicious toasty oak and blackberry fruit. It's still quite linear and firmly structured, so give this some time in the decanter while you fire up the charcoal grill.Tasted: 01 March 2021Tasted by: Prices:
