Finca La Luz Callejon del Crimen Gran Reserva Petit Verdot 2016

This Petit Verdot offers a rich, velvety texture with complex earthy and spicy notes, balanced by well-integrated tannins. While praised for its full-bodied depth and supple finish, some suggest decanting or aging to fully develop its potential. Reviews highlight its elegant structure and dark fruit character, though newcomers may find the intensity challenging.

This Argentine Petit Verdot presents a deep, inky hue, indicative of its robust character. The nose is a complex tapestry of ripe blackcurrant, blueberry compote, and subtle violet florals, underscored by hints of dark chocolate and freshly cracked black pepper. On the palate, the wine reveals a full-bodied structure with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides balance and lift. The mid-palate is rich with layers of plum and graphite, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. This Gran Reserva exemplifies the varietal's potential in Mendoza, showcasing both power and elegance.
