Valle de Tulum, San Juan

AR$10 (US$3)

Appearance

Bright, clear, light scarlet with purple hints.

Nose

Dense stewed black plums, with cinnamon and clove spices. Some cedar and chocolate hints.

Palate

Medium bodied, soft, warm and round. Sweet, spicy, concentrated dark fruit - stewed plums - with faint hints of liquorice and powdery cedar. Mild acidity, soft tannins. 

Overall

Pleasant, packed with fruit and easy to drink. Arguably lacking in structure but at this price, that would hardly be a fair criticism.
