This is a very tasty six-year-old Malbec from Mendoza. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Showing black fruits with vegetables, light vanilla, spices, black olives, earth, bitter herbs, barnyard, wood, tobacco, dark coffee and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and soft tannins.
I had it before, and this time I had it right out of the bottle, and it was really nice.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a cheese plate.
A blend of 80% Malbec, 10% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Franc.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

Deep ruby. Dark sweet plum, salty and floral. The palate is med-full bodied, med acidity, soft-med tannin. There is a dark savoury element that gives the wine gravitas. Beautiful balance. Power without weight. Powerful and beautiful. — 2 years ago

Deep, vivid violet. Oak-spiced dark berries, mocha and violet on the deeply perfumed nose. Deep, jammy black and blue fruit and vanilla flavors show good energy, and a peppery note adds spicy lift on the back half. The vanilla notes carry through the clinging, rounded finish, which is framed by well-knit tannins. Malo and 15 months of aging in new and used French oak barrels.

このワインを飲むのは2回目で最後の一本。
半年ほど前に飲んだ個体に比べて、こっちの方が明らかにフレッシュで熟成感が少ない。
前回同様に、黄桃や枇杷のような黄色果実に、カモミール、ペトロール、ライムストーン、ホワイトペッパーなどの後に、岩清水、レモンなどの爽やかな清涼感と芯のある骨格。
一本目が熟成感が強かっただけに、心配したが、こちらの方が美味しくて良かった。 — 17 days ago
