"Cabernet sauvignon-based blend, assembled in a Bordeaux style to complement the cabernet sauvignon fruit, achieving optimal texture and flavor. Intense ruby color. Herbal notes, spices and graphite. Good concentration and balance, round tannins and a long finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A polished and pretty red with some vanilla character intertwined with purple fruit. Medium to full body. Creamy texture. A blend of cabernet sauvignon with malbec, cabernet franc and a splash of petit verdot. Drink in 2023." —James Suckling "The 2020 Corte Cocodrilo is a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with 14% Malbec, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot from the Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, and was aged in 13% new French barrels. Garnet red in hue. The balsamic nose features bay leaf and thyme with blackcurrant notes and a hint of ash over cedar aromas. Relatively free-flowing in the mouth with a juicy, taut feel, the texture comes from the wood and the flavor from the wine. The alcoholic energy from the warm year is well-balanced." —Vinous |
