Le Dix & Caro 2018 Set

Le Dix de Los Vascos 2018 x 1

Bodegas Caro 2018 x 1

==================

Le Dix de Los Vascos 2018 has a deep garnet color that is almost black. The rich aroma exudes aromas of very ripe black berries and wild cherries, with aromas of cedar, bay and licorice. Oak and fruit flavors are harmoniously compatible. Elegant, flat and full of tannins, the finish has a strong cherry flavor and a slight bitterness typical of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon walnut peel, a balanced and round flavor, and a long finish. Although this excellent wine is young but rich in flavor, it will become more diversified and softer after a period of time. It is a rare wine worthy of collection.

==================

Bodegas Caro 2018 has a dark, intense colour, with hints of violet. The nose reveals a complex mix of aromas including raspberry, black pepper, violets, cloves and subtle notes of dark chocolate. On the palate the wine is well-balanced with a refreshing acidity and ripe tannins that contribute to the harmony and smoothness of the palate. This wine will reveal its complexity with further bottle ageing. This is one of the first vintages of Caro to be predominantly Malbec based.
