This has been aged for 12 months in French (90%) and American barrels. An opaque deep purple robe. The nose has a medium-plus intensity with lactic, creamy, sandalwood, incense and black plum aromas. Ripe on the dry palate with a medium-minus but sufficient acidity, it exhibits a medium-plus extract, medium-plus fine powdery textured tannins and a medium body, with flavours that follows the nose - sandalwood, incense, hard cheese and black plum, and a medium finish. 2024-2026–IR
Mauricio Lorca Gran Petit Verdot Finca Los Altepes Valle de Uco Mendoza
The wine spent 12 months in French (90%) and American barrels. It’s an opaque deep purple. There are medium-plus intensity, pretty and inviting aromas on the nose: floral, lifted, creamy, peonies and blood orange. A ripe medium-minus but adequate acidity starts off the dry palate, followed by a medium extract, a medium-minus fine textured tannins and a medium body; better-than-medium length and fruit persistence here with floral, orange, creamy tones with a hint of milk chocolate. A long finish. 2024-2026–IR
