Mendoza.
Bodegas Trapiche.
Dark purple, bordering on black, in the glass.
A rich and complex nose: plummy, floral, sweet, earthy and tarry.
Quite round and polished, moderate weight, creamy, fleshy black cherry, raspberry and blueberry, tarry-black licorice, spicy, good acidity, slightly sweet, smoky.
A juicy-fruity finish.
A very impressive wine at a very impressive price. Purchased at $15.85 (Canadian).
