Expert Reviews
Caro 2021 is a refined, vigorous wine. It delivers cherry, berries such as redcurrants and blackberries and graphite, balanced by a layer of spice and oak. Expansive in the mouth, with a rich, refreshing acidity midway through, it transitions sharply to a savoury finish with fine, polished tannins. A blend of 79% Malbec with 21% Cabernet Sauvignon from three prominent terroirs in the Uco Valley – Paraje Altamira, San Pablo and Gualtallary. Aged for 18 months in barrels from DBR Lafite's Tonnellerie des Domaines in Pauillac, Right now, it’s very pleasant paired with braised red meat.
Deep, fresh and really contained with exceptional depth. Graphite, mussel, hot stones, black chocolate, violets, dried herbs and tons of fresh, ripe blackberries and mulberries. Fleshy and round on the palate, showing polished, juicy tannins that give it more tension, firmness and focus at the end. Long but more pristine. More foudre this year. Drinkable now, but better in two years when it gets more expressive and complex.
The 2021 Caro blend combines 79% Malbec and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Uco Valley. Half of the wine was aged in barrels, 28% in foudres and the rest in concrete. Delicate purple in hue, it opens with blackberry and cassis aromas, alongside subtle cherry notes and a fine cedar backdrop. Dry and sleek, the palate offers refined juiciness and a long, smooth finish. This is a classic wine with a defined character and layered complexity.
