San Rafael, Mendoza
Valentin Bianchi
Purple in the glass.
Harsh alcohol initially. Later sweet berry fruit on the nose.
Medium body, juicy, black cherry, blueberry, currants, chocolate, spicy, round and smooth in the mouth, red licorice, good acidity, creamy, with some mild alcohol poking through.
Raspberry, blueberry, drying on the fairly long finish.
A nice wine which would have been even nicer at a few dollars cheaper.
Purchased at $16.95 (Canadian).
