Tikal 2014 Jubilo Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon (Uco Valley)

Country: Argentina / Jubilo
Variety: Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon Mendoza Province
Winery: Tikal / Uco Valley

This Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon blend opens with blueberry and currant aromas that hint at the exotic. A flush racy palate is high in acid and a touch abrasive. Plum and currant flavors are not what you’d call cushioned, while this ends with hard edgy tannins and a reprise of scouring acidity. In terms of aging, this will last a long time. Drink through 2027.
