2006 Tikal Amorio Notable Press Summary

2006 Tikal Amorio
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, February 2008
90+ Points
"Bright ruby. Tight, primary aromas of crushed dark berries, mocha, fresh herbs, pepper and cocoa powder, with a whiff of exotic dried fruits. Intensely flavored, focused and bright, with firm acidity framing the dark fruit and pepper flavors. Finishes with a liqueur-like sweetness, suauve tannins and lovely length and lift. Still quite youthfully tight-in fact, a bit grapey today and in need of patience."

 

2006 Tikal Amorio
Robert Parker Jr's "The Wine Advocate" (December, 2007)
92 Points
"The 2006 Amorio (100% Malbec), from a great vintage, spent 12 months in French oak, 60% new. It is opaque purple-colored with a splendid perfume of pain grille, vanilla, spice box, black cherry, and blackberry. Medium to full-bodied, it has a plush palate feel, excellent balance, and nicely combines elegance with power. It has enough silky tannin to evolve for 4 - 6 years and should drink well though 2020. "

Wine Spectator, November 2007
"A rich, polished style, with fig cake, mocha, chocolate pudding and raspberry ganache flavors that glide over ample, but well-rounded tannins. The long finish is filled with dark fruit. For the hedonistic crowd!"

 

2005 Tikal Amorio
89 Points
Wine & Spirits, June 2007
 "From the heights of La Consulta, in the Uco Valley, this malbec feels pure and bright, its acidity enhancing the cherry and strawberry flavors and mineral tannins."
