| Post subject: | Co-op Argentine Cabernet Franc |
This is a great wine that I pick up whenever I'm in the Co-op. It's brilliant for a dinner party because everyone's interested in it and it's easy to drink. Cabernet Franc is one of my favourite grapes and in Argentina it achieves a ripeness it can't hope for in the Loire. It's minty and rich. I haven't tried the 2003 yet, but have been drinking this wine happily since the 99 vintage with no disapointment except that it doesn't keep for months and months - 6m should be OK. I bought a case of, I think, the 2000 and the last couple of bottles had rather lost the will to excite. TRIED A BOTTLE OF THE 2002 ON 1ST DECEMBER AND FOUND IT RATHER HOT AND HARD. WON'T BE BUYING ANY MORE FOR A WHILE. |
