Otello, Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, By Bodega Sottano,USD 10
I guess it could have been a very good Cab from Perdriel District in Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza.
(agrelo,vistalba and perdriel are the best districts of Lujan de Cuyo for mendoza´s malbecs) I bought a six bottle case and all of them were corked. After a closer look the synthetic cork was the maximal source of anisole odor. Again after a while the red came up clearer and showed some interesting notes of black cherries and boysenberries with nice peppery and herbal notes.This spoilage halted any further evaluation. The point to mention is what the winery´s consumers relation guys told me: sorry. And on top of that they blamed on the dealer for the spoilage. Unbelivable. Unfortunately it´ll take some time to try again this winery´s bottles. The correct answer would have prevented this negative prospect.
