Eggo Tinto de Tiza

Smoky aroma, medium body, bitter aftertaste. Not great when we opened it, but got better after a few days. Paired well with a wine-soaked purple cheddar cheese.

Tannic. Needs to decant for at least 90 minutes and continues to open. Really tasted the Cabernet Franc. Wish it had gone more heavy on the Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon.

100% Malbec fermented and aged in concrete eggs (hence the name) from vineyards at an elevation of 4500 feet in Gualtallary, possibly the “hottest” region in Argentina. Due to the high altitude, cooler temperatures (2016 was a particularly cold year) and intense sunlight, grapes are said to retain freshness and develop more aromas and flavors. This is quite fragrant indeed, with intense aromas of dark fruit, wet earth and herbs. On the palate it is more austere, feels very fresh, with high acidity

Could not drink it. Good nose - but pour sour taste... maybe this bottle was bad sealed...

This isn't re-fermint. Just delicious.
