Like 70% of Argentinean
wines, from Mendoza province. I was very surprised to see the close to amber
colour of this wine – not usual in young white wines. Made in a highly
oxidative style, with a lot of sweet oak and little fruit flavour left, this is
highly reminiscent of traditionally-styled white Rioja. Fennel, and a whiff of
acacia honey (although very dry). I love the style, and such a surprise to find
it in such a young wine.
86/100
