Reviews: Tacama Seleccion Especial

 

 

Tacama Selección Especial

Tacama´s pride. Its particularly seductive robe of dense red with striking purple reflections expresses its high concentration. Extraordinarily intense and complex bouquet. It evokes fruits, plums, liquorice, with predominance of perfectly ripened grapes; and it has peppery notes that enhance its richness and brilliance. A tasting of Selección Especial is unforgettable. Its strength and concentration are worthy of the best wines.
At the same time, its balance is perfect. The tannins are well-wrapped and not at all aggressive. With is long, aromatic finish, this wine is a huge success.
It is made from the varieties of Tannat, native to the southwest of France, and Petit Verdot from the Medoc. Tacama selected these varieties for their adaptability to the sunny climate of Ica, where the Petit Verdot achieves an excellent degree of maturity.
Percentage  of vine stocks that compose it :  65% tannat, 35% petit verdod.
