Caro
Mendoza
Vintage 2009
Weather conditions were exceptionally good in 2009, with a particularly long, cool spring. After the veraison and throughout the summer, the weather remained stable and dry with constant, moderately hot temperatures.
The harvest went very smoothly, all the conditions were right for the Malbec to ripen perfectly, resulting in delicious ripe fruit and dense colour.
The Cabernet Sauvignon harvest was more complex to manage particularly for the plots likely to suffer from drought at the end of the harvests.
Intense, deep red colour with fine hints of crimson.
The nose offers pleasant aromas of red and dark fruit, with redcurrants, also some mint and cedar. The bouquet fills out with notes of vanilla, spices and mocha, characteristic of French oak.
This is a dense, complex wine, with good tannic structure. The lingering finesse of the tannins gives the wine good length and a pleasant, soft mouthfeel.
Deep, aromatic and complex with very appealing intense fruit. Has yet to reach its peak.
