Tasting notes: Pargua 2010

A dense and deep ruby garnet announces a rich nose where first are the sweet spicy notes. Fresh leather, meaty and balsamic tones above a ripe fruit of candied raspberries, plums and blackcurrants and a background made of tobacco and noble woods.

The wine offers a firm structure of fine but not yet polished tannins, asking for a couple of years more to reach harmony. However, everything is already balanced, dense and working for more…

The finish, a bit tight for its tannins, starts to show its true Maipo personality, and beg for patience to express all its complexity.
