Pulenta Gran Cabernet Franc Argentina Mendoza 2020 (14% ABV) — 92.7
SF | Rich colour , with very little fade. The nose is more interesting; pine resin, cassis, chalk and hints of tar. a distinctive and revealing terroir in other words, lending nuance and authority, a dark fruit set of appealing personality which resonates all the way down the palate. Impressive length and a beautifully tapered finish, 92
DW | Creamy dark cherry: so ripely, amply juicy and fleshy, but succulent and agile like a new-wave Garnacha with a little more nip and grip and a spark of cherryish acidity. An intriguing new direction for Cabernet Franc.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 93
AR | This is pretty dark and youthful in colour; it's sweet, herbal and spicy all at once in its aromatic profile, very ripe and juicy-textured to taste, there's a lot going on here; with nice sub-threshhold oak keeping the texture in fine shape, and overall providing a delightfully opulent mouthful of ripe and juicy blackcurrant fruit which softens down and satisfies with each sip.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 93
