LA POSTA |
| A REPEAT of the BEST BUY 2021 (**+) that was released on October 22, 2022 at $16.95. Deep intense purple colour. Attractive, spicy, bright, ripe, black cherry purée nose with some vanilla-cedar notes. Dry, medium bodied, well balanced, tangy, gently spicy, fairly intense, juicy, ripe, plum-black-cherry purée flavours are followed up with a gently cedary, bright finish with lively acidity. Versatile, reasonably priced and ready-to-drink, half of this 100% Bonarda was aged for 10 months in 2nd and 3rd use French barrels, the balance in tanks. It has 13.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with SAME lot number 2-22153 on the back label. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: From old-vine bonarda from a 50-year-old vineyard in the Guaymallén zone, about 750 meters above sea level, 30% of the wine was aged in barrels for about eight months before it was bottled. This is a classic bonarda full of flavors and aromas of ripe blackberries along with juicy acidity, soft tannins, and lots of juiciness. Score - 90 (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2023) |
