Chacra Treinta y Dos 2010 is a singular Pinot Noir from Patagonia, sourced from an ungrafted vineyard planted in 1932. This high-altitude site in the Rio Negro Valley benefits from constant winds and intense sunlight, which Piero Incisa della Rocchetta manages through organic and biodynamic viticulture. The 2010 vintage was fermented with indigenous yeasts in small cement vats. Ageing took place in French oak barrels, only 10% of which were new, to preserve the ethereal floral and mineral notes of the old vines. The profile displays wild raspberries, sandalwood and tea leaves, with a refined tannic structure and a persistent saline finish.

The 2010 Treinta y Dos shows slightly reductive aromas from the barrel with toast and toffee notes over the core of wild berries. Until that vintage this wine was sourced from a vineyard planted in 1932 - hence its name - and was aged in 100% new 225-liter French oak barrels for one year. It`s been in bottle for a few years now, so give it time in the decanter if you uncork one. The grapes were hand destemmed and fermented in cement. The palate shows grainy tannins and would need food. 4,898 bottles produced. - Luis Gutiérrez
90 Vinous
(12% alcohol): Medium red. Dark cherry, boysenberry, licorice, herbs and aromatic spices on the nose. Juicy, spicy and dense but the cola and chocolate flavors come off as rather foursquare and oaky following the 2011 Cincuenta y Cinco. Finishes savory and dry, with dusty tannins. Until recently, Chacra's two high-end pinots were released together. But this 2010 came out later: it spent 22 months in all-new French oak, and is currently in the marketplace along with the 2011 Cincuenta y Cinco, which aged for 14 months in all-used barrels. My scores should make it clear which approach to elevage I preferred.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2013
