Bodegas CARO – Mendoza – Red – 2021:

 

CARO: The Ultimate Bordeaux-Meets-Mendoza Red Blend

CARO is the flagship wine of Bodegas CARO, an extraordinary joint venture between Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Argentina’s renowned Catena family. This bottle is a testament to the perfect synergy between two noble grapes-Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec-and two winemaking titans, resulting in a luxury Argentine red that boasts both New World fruit power and Old World structural elegance.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Appearance: Deep, intense purple color.
• Nose: An expressive bouquet of concentrated ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, plum) with the signature floral lift of Malbec (violet). Complex secondary notes of graphite, cedar, and subtle toasted vanilla emerge from the French oak aging.
• Palate: Full-bodied and rich, yet perfectly balanced. It features powerful, yet exceptionally silky tannins that coat the mouth, leading to a long, clean, and persistent finish. A wine built for the cellar, but stunning now with decanting.

Pairing & Serving Tips

This Grand Vin demands a prime cut of meat. Serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C) and be sure to decant for 60 to 90 minutes to allow its complex aromas to fully unfold.
