Bodegas Caro Catena Family & DBR (Lafite)
From Mendoza
| Vintage: | 2012 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 75 % Malbec 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. "(75% Malbec and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon; 18 months in new French oak, including barrels made at Lafite-Rothschild, which is the Catena family's partner in this venture): Bright, deep ruby. Dark berries, cocoa powder, mocha, smoke and licorice on the nose. Plush, sweet and vinous, offering excellent definition as well as creamy depth to the flavors of currant, mocha and sexy chocolatey oak. More Old World than New in style, finishing with noble, deceptively soft tannins and excellent subtle length. This will gain in complexity with time in bottle." (vm). "Incredible aromas of spice, cedar, walnut and dark berry. Floral too. Spectacular nose. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a racy and refined finish. Fresh and succulent. Made from old vines of mablec in Compuertas and cabernet sauvignon from Altamira. Such finesse. Half the normal production. The best wine ever from the Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Nicolas Catena winery. Drink or hold." (js). Winery Notes:. Caro, from CAtena and ROthschild, has a strong Argentine identity, characterized by the Malbec grape, which is given further elegance and complexity through blending with Cabernet Sauvignon. The combination produces a voluptuous, refined wine with a harmonious balance between the wine's Argentinian identity and its Bordeaux style. Tasting Notes (at Bottling) This wine has a dark, intense color, with hints of violet and ruby. A complex mix of aromas characterizes this unique blend, including raspberry, blackpepper, violets, cloves, graphite and subtle notes of dark chocolate. On the palate, the true essence of Caro can be appreciated with its refined, elegant tannins. Can be enjoyed now or aged for ten years. |
