Piattelli Vineyards
Premium Reserve Luján de Cuyo Malbec
Lujan De Cuyo, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Dark ruby in color with a shiny red rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, plums, cloves, cedar, leather, licorice, earth, black pepper, chocolates, tobacco, cinnamon, herbs, spices, cigar box, light vanilla, light vegetables, dark coffee and peppercorn.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, cloves, tobacco, coffee, chocolates, peppercorn, spices, vegetables, pencil lead, tar and black tea.
Medium plus in finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries.
This 5 year old Argentinian Malbec surprised me as I did not expect it to be as good as it was. Well balanced with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel. Spicy with a tangy ending.
Needs 90 minutes to open up properly and show tannins, but it was drinkable right out of the bottle too.
I had the 2013 vintage as a 3 year old, but it wasn't ready at all. Now it is delicious. This one needs patience...
100% Malbec grapes are grown on Rocky soils at 3,200 feet elevation. Aged in oak barrels for 8 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
$15.
