CARO 2019

CARO

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

CARO is a joint venture between the Catena family and Domaines Barons de Rothschild situated in the spectacular Argentinian province, Mendoza. The estate combines the Catena family’s passion for Malbec and their expertise in nurturing vineyards on high-altitude terroir, with Domaines Barons de Rothschild’s centuries-old knowledge of cultivating great Cabernet Sauvignon.

Its vineyards benefit from two terroirs: the high altitude Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley which sees high deserts that benefit from low night temperatures and intense rays of sun. The final blend is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels which are transported to Argentina from Pauillac.

James Suckling

Chocolatey, cedary oak with truffles and tobacco here. While there is a lot of oak to flatter at this stage, it still delivers restraint, bearing and class. Keep smelling and youll find scented, dark lead pencil, meaty spices, fine blackberries and a hint of tar. Ripe and rich, but nuanced, with more complexity that takes time to fully uncoil. Really silky, precise and polished tannins, loaded with some fruit sweetness on the palate, then extending to the finish that lasts a minute. Drinkable now, but better to hold.

The serious, balanced and quite complete 2019 Caro was made with 64% Malbec and 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and produced in a classical style. Its a wine with ripeness, Mendoza sun and Bordeaux elegance and subtleness. It feels harmonious and integrated, with 14.5% alcohol and good balancing freshness. It matured in French barriques and 4,200-liter oak foudre for 14 months, which was a shorter élevage and using larger-volume containers to achieve neatly integrated oak. Its complex, clean and elegant, and the palate reveals a velvety texture with juicy fruit and round tannins. 31,400 bottles and 1,280 magnums were produced. It was bottled in October 2021. Its one of the finest vintages of Caro and should develop nicely in bottle.
