Finca Piedra Infinata Paraje Altamira Malbec Blend 2017

Deep , opaque violet ruby , with a thin violet rim . Quite dense and closed at first , deep plum , blackberry , meaty , chocolate , dark cherry , with a stony , granite note . On the palate this is dense dark blackberry , earthy plum , liquorice and cacau destes dark cherry . High tannin, really quite firm and gritty , fresh acidity and just balanced alcohol. Good gritty herbal and granite stained finish . This is very young and quite concentrated in style , lots of tannin to round out , but there is lots of stuffing here too . Come back in 5-10 years perhaps and will last well a further 5-10. — 13 days ago

Mendoza Bonarda 2022

Grabbed this with steaks from the grocery store. I am unapologetic; I believe Mendoza is the best place you can go if you've got $12 in your pocket.

I would love to see more Bonarda and less Malbec brought in to the U.S. Bonarda may be relatively simple, but it goes with so many types of food.

@Tom Casagrande I agree 100%. I didn't catch it until this moment, but Delectable detected Bonarda, while this bottle is Malbec. I drink more Bonarda than Malbec, but my corner store is pretty limited. Interesting story, isn't it? 😂

Boca Nebbiolo Blend 2017

Interesting wine. This one is a blend of Nebbiolo and Vespolina grapes. Not every surrounding region allow Vespolina, but Boca does.

The nose is muted. Not showing much. Macerated dark fruits, sandstone & black turned earth.

The body is mucher thicker from the extraction & Vespolina. Medium plus, fine, dark, polished tannins. It shows grapy, dark cherries, blackberries, a plum/raspberry blend, poached strawberries with lift of blueberries hues as it sets. Dark spice w/ some heat, dry soils, dark, muddy earth with clay, dry stones, dry tobacco, leather, dry wood plank, dry herbs, with red flowers with red & pink roses, round acidy with a well made, structured, nicely tensioned, polish finish that land on dry, fine tannins and stones.

This will require 8-10 plus years to flush out.

Nose of ripe plum, black currant, raspberry, cinnamon, licorice, and subtle violet. Medium to full body but not as masculine as the last bottle, but still pack a punch. Love the 13% ABV. Will cruise for another 4-5 years.
