Joaquín Hidalgo - Vinous Media
The 2014 Gran Reserva Montchenot 10 Años is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Malbec, sourced from Cruz de Piedra, Maipú and Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo. It aged for 36 months in old, large French oak foudres. With a garnet-mahogany color, it unfolds mature aromas of pepper, currant and dried flowers. Dry and light, it maintains a soft profile due to faintly reactive tannins, resulting in a lean mouthfeel. The palate lingers on the evolved notes, presenting an intriguing addition to Argentina's wine offerings.
