Carmelo Patti Gran Assemblage 2008 - Only 6 bottles remaining

Very much the 'El Jefe' of Carmelo Patti's wines, his Gran Assemblage is the bottled embodiment of his decades of skill as a winemaker: a mixture of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 20% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc carefully selected from the finest quality grapes by Carmelo himself.

It's then aged in French oak for 12 months, giving it strong tannins and the classic green pepper and smoky notes indicative of Carmelo Patti's wines, but also the finesse and tannic structure of a fine Bordeaux. The result? Imagine if Margaux mastered the Argentine Tango in your mouth...

A truly special wine, only 5,508 bottles of Carmelo's Gran Assemblage were created. Does scarcity equal quality? In this case, most definitely. If you can restrain yourself from drinking now (a feat we have yet to achieve) this wine will undoubtedly improve with age and cellar well until 2025
