LA POSTA |
| A REPEAT of the recommended 2022 that was last was released on December 2, 2023 at $14.95. Not retasted - previous note. 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 lot number 2-23213 on the back label. |

| TASTING NOTE: From vines planted in the Guaymallén area more than 50 years ago on alluvial soils, rich in clay and gravel about 750 meters above sea level. 30% of the wine was aged in barrels for about eight months, all in used oak. The wine is an excellent example of how rich and refreshing bonarda can be, with its aromas and flavors of red fruits and spices, the notes of flowers and the texture that's a delight of crunchy tannins. One of those bonardas to get to know the variety. Score - 92 (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2024) |
