Note di degustazione
Deep, fresh and really contained with exceptional depth. Graphite, mussel, hot stones, black chocolate, violets, dried herbs and tons of fresh, ripe blackberries and mulberries. Fleshy and round on the palate, showing polished, juicy tannins that give it more tension, firmness and focus at the end. Long but more pristine. More foudre this year. Drinkable now, but better in two years when it gets more expressive and complex.

Intense ruby red colour, offering restrained and savoury flavours with balanced spice, liqourice, graphite and blackberry. This is a consistently good quality Malbec with a shot of Cabernet adding structure and tannins, and is full of pleasure in this slightly cooler-than-usual Argentinian vintage. First time sold through the wider negociant system of The Place, rather than as an exclusivity. Oliver Tregoat winemaker, director Philipe Rolet.
The 2021 Caro blend combines 79% Malbec and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Uco Valley. Half of the wine was aged in barrels, 28% in foudres and the rest in concrete. Delicate purple in hue, it opens with blackberry and cassis aromas, alongside subtle cherry notes and a fine cedar backdrop. Dry and sleek, the palate offers refined juiciness and a long, smooth finish. This is a classic wine with a defined character and layered complexity.
