Aromo Barrel Selection Maule Valley 2009 59 and 83 Points

Showing color evolution with garnet hue and slight brown rim!
Shows evidence of brettanomyces, hence the 59 points!  and can drink the stuff then it's a good 83 points based on it's overall structure!!
For those who do not mind brettanomyces in their wine and can tolerate the spoilage, and can drink the stuff then it's a good 83 points based on it's overall structure!!, remembering it is a showy style, oaky, lots of American oak, some leesy reductive note with ripe dark red fruits in the background!
Dry, fresh, elegant extraction, savoury black olives, svelte texture, now until 2018.
Blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon – 15% Carmenere – 5% Petit Verdot
