2012 Caro, Barons de Rothschild/Catena, Mendoza
£70.00
“Incredible aromas of spice, cedar, walnut and dark berry. Floral too. Spectacular nose. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a racy and refined finish. Fresh and succulent. Made from old vines of mablec in Compuertas and cabernet sauvignon from Altamira. Such finesse. Half the normal production. The best wine ever from the Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Nicolas Catena winery.”

Product Description
Caro, from Catena and Rothschild, has a strong Argentine identity, heralded by Malbec, while obtaining further elegance and complexity through blending with Cabernet Sauvignon. The combination has made a rich and refined wine; a harmonious balance between the Argentine and Bordeaux styles.
This wine has a dark, intense colour, with hints of violet and ruby. A complex mix of aromas characterises this unique blend, including raspberry, black pepper, violets, cloves, graphite and subtle notes of dark chocolate.
