Those who Enjoy Real Quality, Caro Malbec. 2016

Post by Wines Of The World »

(Catena and Rothschild)

Caro 2016, Mendoza Argentina.

Caro is the top wine of Bodegas Caro, a partnership between Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Nicolas Catena

Caro is made in very small quantities and is aged in 100% new French oak for no less than 18 months.

Caro uses the very finest hand picked fruit from several premium parcels with Uco Valley and the First Zone, in Mendoza.

There’s no rush to drink Caro, such is the quality that it will age effortlessly for a decade. This vintage is first from the Bodegas to be made predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon, rather than Malbec.Drink from
2017 to 2025
Varietal
Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon.
Decant from
An hour before serving

Tasting notes
After an hour in a decanter the nose offers cassis, blueberry, cocoa and tobacco The palate is much more delicate and elegant compared to historical vintages. There’s ripe yet restrained fruit with layers of sweet spice and smoke. Caro is seamless and well balanced with the most enticing array of complexity. The 2016 vintage is much lighter in alcohol than the 2014 or 2015 vintages, and offers a more accessible style. Despite this, Caro 2016 will develop well over the next decade in the cellar.

Tim Atkin’s Best Argentine Wines 2019 Onto the floor now and we dip our toes into the reds. Spectacular way to start with this Rothschild project. Old fashioned Bordeaux blend and the influence of the project manager is clear to see. But it still retains plenty of varietal character and purity, with lots of complex black fruits.

One of the finest I’ve enjoyed. Paired with Cold Ash cote-de-boeuf and chimmichurri. Smokey, rich and smooth - an absolute assault of the senses!

No, but it's a new product, don't know exchange rate when it arrived, don't know which exchange rate customs used to work out taxes to be added,don't know couriers charges, don't know customs commissioners costs and which exchange rate he used.

Like i said,if Really interested call in shop or call shop number,whattsapp is free but the wine isn't or my time.

Wasn't that hard after all then!
What's the point in paying hundreds of pounds sterling to advertise on here and advertise our phone numbers if they are not used even though it's free to call, or is it some rather be pedantic, common sense would tell me to use the phone number. The person in the shop is capable of giving you all up to date prices, and yes prices do change when your buying products in another country in another currency and selling in a different currency than bought in,price fluctuations all the time , and im sure you know that.

You forgot the transparent pricing that's always a USP. I'm just devastated that you are the only shop on the island selling wine.
