Big extract Bordeaux style blend from #ucovalley - bramble fruit, black currant, some prune juice aromas. Big body on palate, some stewed fruit notes fine tannins, bitter chocolate and coffee notes on the finish. The overall impression is a throwback wine looking for power at the expense of elegance. There may be heat damage in transit as well. — 2 years ago

Upon uncorking, this #ucovalley #malbec was a bit profligate with the toasted oak. A few days in the wine fridge and more enjoyable details emerge - dark bramble fruit, stewed plum, faint forest floor; taste impression is of delicious tartness up front, soft peppery notes and feathery tannins on a long finish. I’m particular about Argentinian Malbecs but this one is reasonably complex and refined. — 4 years ago

Refined #ucovalley #malbec - Somewhat restrained dark fruit aromas backed by leather and earthy notes. Balanced fruit and acid channel into velvety tannins - this set off well with short rib ravioli. — 4 years ago

Day 3: Big, black chocolate nose, with baked blackberry, black olives, and charred beef ribs charging from the glass. The floodgates have finally opened, and it was worth the wait! There is fresh cocoa bean pods and a jungle of flora; rosemary and iris extracts and an oatmeal raisin aspect to the perfuming.
Just the right texture for the pungent hothouse welcome: grippy and coarse, with a bitter chocolate and raspberry interplay, and a single unforgettable graphite and smoky slate backbone; unwavering in the churn of black currant, pepper, eucalyptus, leather and tobacco. Léoville Poyferré's high octane new world Malbec that puts a LOT of stick about! It also has an elegance, as all good dominatrixes should! You'll get a kick out of this! #LéovillePoyferré #bordeauxandburgers #argentinawine #Argentina #malbec #malbecmalbec #newworldmeetsoldworld #CuvelierLosAndes #andes #grandmalbec #ucovalley #uco #mendoza — 8 years ago
