Kaiken Ultra Malbec 2014

Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaCool black fruit from a warm place, one freshened with altitude and not hemmed in with oak. There is certainly wood here, but it is only 1/3 new, and partially offset by the altitude of three zones of Uco Valley wanting from 1100-1400 miles above sea level.: Vistaflores, Gualtallary, and Altamira. Smoked black and red fruits, anise, perfumed wild blueberries, peppercorns, all amply sunripened, and with the full impact of grainy tannins. Swings of cola are slung across the finish of this warm malbec, one destined to be best encountered with fire grilled beef.Tasted: 19 December 2017Tasted by: Prices:
