Well folks, this review concludes our tour of Argentina. I hope you enjoyed reading
about these 5 wines as much as we enjoyed drinking them. As a reminder, there is still time to vote for which country you'd like to see us visit next. The poll closes today at 6 pm...and at the moment Spain has a significant lead over the other options. If you have suggestions on how we can make this world tour more fun or interesting, please let us know. We'd really love to hear from you.
The Wine: Carlos Pulenta Vistalba Corte B 2003
Country: Argentina
Region: Mendoza
Category: Red Meritage
Vintage: 2003
Price: $19.99
Decanted or Not: Yes, 90 minutes
Tasting Notes:
The Color: Ruby Red
The Nose: Very Powerful. Ripe berries, plum, wood and spice
The Taste: Very lush and juicy from the start. Intense dark fruit, with very nice spice. Middle is a little bitter and earthy with wood and leather/coffee flavors. Finish is very smooth - coats your tongue gently with tannins, powerful and again spicy and fruity at the end. Alcohol lingers in the back of your throat.
Overall nice bottle. A little bit of a fruit bomb, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
That's all for now. Remember to swirl, sniff, and swig. Cheers!
