Altocedro
Año Cero La Consulta Cabernet Sauvignon
La Consulta, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
The first time I tasted this bottling was about 18 months ago, it has developed nicely since. Oak vanilla is still quite prominent - don’t know how because only 30% was matured in oak barrel for about 10 month only - but it’s much more integrated, playing nicely with candied black fruits, leather, incense, and light herbs. Palate is rich and layered - again hard to grasp given the minimum oak treatment. Taste of chocolate, prune too.
Tasty and satisfying.

A robust, delicious cab that has a lot going on in terms of depth of taste. There is oak and dark cherry on the nose, with a bit of leather. Purchased at Costco... great price!

Sep 1st, 2019Nice delicious cab. Nose is quite ripe and oaky, almost a bit overbearing. But the palate is well balanced with fresh acidity and well integrate tannins. Very good value.
