Pale gold. The nose is an appealing mélange of pineapple, pears and tangerine. Full-bodied and rich, featuring ripe pear flavours and lemony acidity. Complex, with a nutty bitterness on the finish. Handy to keep in the fridge; will competently pair with a wide variety of foods.
Produced from vines grown in high altitude volcanic soils in the harsh conditions of the Uco Valley, this aromatic wine expresses the terroir, showing finely scented green fruit overlaid with a pungent smoky aroma. Bright green apple and citrus fruit is balanced by lively acidity and firm drying grip on the finish.
Bright, pale yellow. Buttery oak, tropical fruit (pineapple, apricot) and hints of smoke. The rich texture is lightened by acidity and you can taste oak-vanilla in the mid-palate. Almost tannic, drying and somewhat warm finish. Drink or hold 2 to 3 years. Will go nicely with fish in a creamy sauce.
Bright ruby. Clean nose of red berries and oak-scented spices. Light- to medium-bodied with adequate acidity, fine but firm tannins. Ready to drink and great with surface-ripened cheeses like Brie or Camembert.
From the ripe and lush aromas on the nose, I was expecting a flabby palate. To the contrary! Like an elegant ballerina, the wine components are perfectly balanced. Notes of nectarine, lemon, hazelnut and butter are just slightly overshadowed by the vanilla flavours but it is just a matter of a year or two until the aromas are in harmony. Impressive mouth-watering acidity despite the hot vintage. Magnificent. Put it in your cellar for 4-6 years.
Fleshy ripe berry-fruit and light peppery spicy notes on the nose, with blackberry and blackcurrant flavours supported by velvety tannic structure and a touch of dark chocolate. Balanced full-flavoured wine.
Beautifully aged showing aromas of rich dried cherry, wild berries, earth, and spice with a silky, elegant texture with multi-layered flavours of mature berries and plums. The perfect example of a well-aged Zin, still possesses character and elegance. Don’t decant and drink now, it probably has 2 more years before heading downhill.
