Let the end of the note on the visit to La Bodega Ocean of Viedma - Rio Black and as always leave the best for last, here I will describe the wines of superior segment .
Before I tell you I tried an experiment done by the winery, with a barrel fermented in oak and then aged in the same barrel, a malbec 2007, powerful aroma and flavor. Malbec also tried many different parts of the vineyard, in stainless steel tanks. and French oak casks and surprises with differences being the same vineyard. You could try from the Malbec 2008 Icon tank, which will be a top wine from the cellar and have good concentration.
took me by surprise two differently tempranillos add in oak casks, from the vines attached to the winery, the oldest and not sold commercially. Two extremely balanced tempranillos mouth, I defined it as "flat" but not the word, we must say "round" and I'll stay with the desire to see him in a business.
