Botalcura carries on receiving the recognition from Wine Advocate. This time was the turn of: Nebbiolo and Syrah/Nebbiolo, both with 89 points in the edition of May 2009 by Jay Miller. The 2005 Nebbiolo contains 14 % Cariganan. Medium ruby-colored, it offers up earth notes, mineral, tar, and a briery, underbrush character. On the palate is has surprising depth, layers of flavor, and enough silky tannin to evolve for 1-2 years. Drink this singular wine through 2020. The Syrah-Nebbiolo El Delirio is medium rubycolored with aromas of tar, rose petals, and earth notes. Elegant on the palate and nicely balanced, this unusual blend comes together nicely in the finish.
