Aborigen
Proyecto 125 Cinsault
Mexico
Wasn't expecting to enjoy this but bought it anyway because I had never seen a dry red varietal wine made from Cinsault. Appreciate if anyone can weigh in on the typicality of this wine!
Tasting notes -
Colour: Garnet with some clarity. Aroma: Rose, bruised black cherry, dirt, plastic. Taste: Mixed berry jam and savoury brown spice. Spicy, woodsmoke finish. Structure: Medium-plus acidity. Medium-bodied with lush texture. Wine shows up bigger on the palate. Evidence of over-extraction.
Conclusion: Wine lacks structure and finesse. Flavors taste overripe and flat. I don't know if the plastic-paint aroma is intrinsic but in any case I am absolutely not fond of that characteristic.
Technical notes - Made by esteemed Mexican winemaker Hugo d'Acosta from Casa de Piedra. No information on fermentation, maceration, and oaking process. Hot-climate wine from Mexico, unspecified vineyard.
