2015 Tenuta Argentiera Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore

Wine Notes

Argentiera is another Bordeaux blend from Bolgheri, with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. 50% new oak is used. This independent vineyard is still part owned by the wine-making family but has recently received significant investment from an Austrian industrialist. The 2015 is another rich wine, in the mould of the Guado Al Tasso, but is a little more baked and has less finesse. It is still a good wine, or we wouldn’t be adding it to one of our mixed cases, but there was a little surprise at Nemo HQ that it received a near-perfect 99 point score from one well-known critic. But perhaps our palettes missed something that your palette won’t. It is perhaps best drunk in the next 2-3 years.
