Masi Tupungato 2016 Passo Doble (Valle De Uco) Mendoza - Argentina
Availability: BCLDB Stores
Cost: $12-15 + taxes
Alcohol: 14%
Date Tasted: April 15th, 2019
Tasting Notes: A very consistent, well-produced blend of Malbec and Corvina, the Passo Doble combines dark berry, smoked hazelnut, light spice and fresh almond notes on the impressive nose and the mouth-watering palate. Finish is a bit short-lived and edges towards bitter, but, when paired with food, you'll hardly notice.
Easiest (and best) pairing is grilled red meat drenched in a smokey-sweet or teriyaki BBQ sauce. Drink now-2020.
