Casarena Bodega y Viñedos – Mythic Block 2012 – Mendoza

Red wine with a medium deep colour, it has some evolution starting to become a bit more pale at the rim and ruby core. Quite traditional style, more dried fruit notes here. More on the red fruity side as well, like dried cherry, dried plum, some herbal notes. The palate feels like it has a certain evolution. A bit of development here, the fruit is more on the dry side. Like dried berries, quite acid red fruit, like sour cherry, cranberry. Rather marked by a high acidity here. However, tannins are integrated and there is a slight presence of wood. Not really a massive style, but more on the medium weight with a moderately long finish. However appearing a bit on the dry side today. I would say this is more of a traditional style. It has probably reached its peak for drinkability right now.
