Passionate Wines Montesco Bonarda 2010

Things start getting really interesting with the 2010 Montesco Bonarda, which comes from 30-year-old trellised vines and underwent a double grape selection. It has a gorgeous bouquet of macerated dark cherries; cough candy and creme de cassis that is irresistible. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, taut tannins and exuberant blackberry and bilberry fruit. It has wonderful structure and a sense of symmetry on the finish. This is one of the finest Bonardas that I tasted in Argentina. Drink now-2017. Score - 92. (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, Oct. 2012)
