DOMAINE NICO
Le Paradis 2018
- 94 points -
A new frontier for Pinot Noirs in Argentina. Grown in Gualtallary at 1,500 meters above sea level and micro-produced in 12 lots, 50% roll-fermented by oenologist Roy Urvieta, the result is a fascinatingly profound array of subtle flavors. A fairly pale red in the glass, Le Paradís delivers a nose of damp earth and mint, fragrant notes of leather and rose, and touches of licorice and orange petit-four, each stage bigger than the last. In the mouth, the flavors are intense, with a delicate, smooth texture, hints of chalk and well-integrated acidity clad in a silk glove.
