Tapiz Las Notas de Jean Claude 2012
Mendoza, Argentina
Bodega Tapiz
A blend of Merlot with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, the 2012 Las Notas de Jean Claude comes from a vineyard in the Uco Valley at an altitude of 1,300 metres. Luis Gutiérrez of robertparker.com says, "The nose is quite subtle, with good ripeness but without excess and integrated oak, with some sweet spices. It's subtle and elegant, quite a change from the rest of the range. The blend of grapes erases the varietal character and there is complexity beyond that of the grape. The medium-bodied palate is very polished with ultra-fine tannins and good acidity, making for a very harmonious and sleek texture through the long and elegant finish." He scored the wine with 94 points and recommends drinking through 2020.
