Piattelli 2006 Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Luján de Cuyo)

Country: Argentina / Grand Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Mendoza Province
Winery: Piattelli / Luján de Cuyo

Dark and fiery, with grapy, heavily extracted aromas. Compared to the winery’s Premium Cabernet, this is harder and more choppy, with staggering tannins and heat on the finish. It’s a monster with teeth, and only time will tell if it finds a friendlier place. Hold for a couple of years.
