New listing from the region that’s home to the malbec grape that has become so popular
in Argentina. Deep colour and density, with ripe plum, cherry, mineral and underbrush aromas. Mid-weight, with slightly sour fruit framed by lively acidity and solid tannic finish. Very good length. Best from 2009
to 2012.
