93 Points James Suckling

Bodega Aniello Pinot Noir is probably our best pound for pound Pinot on the site. Patagonia produces much of South America’s best Pinot Noir, and this one is the best we have discovered.

Full of ripe fruit, medium bodied with the fruit and tannins in balance. Great mouthfeel with a silky smoothness. Excellent wine.

A collaboration between Bodega Tapiz and Jean Claude Berrouet, winemaker at Chateau Petrus for 25 years (1982 -2007). Jean Claude is regarded as one of the finest winemakers the world has ever known, and a world leader with Merlot. Under his direction Chateau Petrus became one of the most expensive and sought after wines in the world.

It comes as no surprise then to find this blend is heavily dominated by Merlot. I’ve copied the Tapiz wine information into the further information page. I tasted it at Barrulo and was really impressed. This is a stunning wine, very silky and elegant. It was late on at the show by the time I tasted it so I didn’t even attempt to make my own tasting notes by that stage, so be guided by the official ones. But trust me, this is something very special from Argentina!
