Garzón Petit Clos Marselan Block 487 2020
Garzón, Maldonado, San José, UruguayThe Petit Clos labels are the top end releases from Garzón, as in the case of this marselan GPS Block 487, which may be the best marselan you will have tasted to date. From its deep red colour, the nose is a mix of wild savoury fruits and exotic forest floor. On the palate, you find red plums mingled with blackberries and black fruits with a splash of California eucalyptus. The style is reserved, the tannins are Alberto Antonini soft and integrated, and the finish is subtle. It is a study of minerals and saline that reflects its position near the cool Atlantic Ocean. The fermentation takes place in concrete 80 HL cement tulips. The final blend spends 12 months in 25 HL neutral French oak casks. A wine to note.Tasted: 12 September 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:CDN | $53.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
