Trapiche 2007 Viña Domingo F. Sarmiento Single Vineyard Malbec (La Consulta)

Country: Argentina / Viña Domingo F. Sarmiento Single Vineyard
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Trapiche / La Consulta

Aromas of mocha, rubber, smoky leather and berry fruit indicate good things to come, but in the mouth this wine fails to deliver equal to its price and the previous successes of Trapiche’s single-vineyard Malbec project. Scouring acidity is the main culprit; the wine seems clipped, tartaric and angular, thus it’s all superficial and not deep or rich enough to rate better.
