Bodegas Luis Segundo Correas 2013 Valle Las Acequias Malbec - 86pts

Bodegas Luis Segundo Correas 2013 Valle Las Acequias Malbec (Mendoza) Argentina

Availability: BCLDB Stores and Everything Wine
Cost: $22.99
Alcohol: 13.5%
Date Tasted: August 2nd, 2018

Tasting Notes: A dense wine, sourced from 85-year-old vines, this single-vineyard Malbec offers a maturing nose and palate with a profile of pruny-blackberries, sweet dates, black cherries, spiced vanilla and smoky, toasted oak. Overall balance sways a tad too far to the off-dry spectrum of fine Malbecs, yet, there is opulence here that will appeal to many. Pair with BBQued, fatty cuts of beef or pork. Drink now-2020.

Valle Las Acequias 2006 Malbec - 87pts

Valle Las Acequias 2006 Malbec (Medrano) Mendoza - Argentina

Availability: BCLDB Signature Stores
Cost: $20
Alcohol: 13.8%
Date Tasted: September 16th, 2011

Tasting Notes: The nose offers juicy black berry and cranberry aromas with notes of licorice, spice and minerals. The palate is smooth and easy-drinking with some residual sugar adding body and richness. Smoky, intense and very fruity (mostly dark fruits). Not very complex, but a focused wine that knows itself well. Enjoy this wine now and over the couple of years as the acidity and tannins are such that the wine should continue to keep. Drink 2011-2013.
