Medium intesity violet color. The palate is multi-layered and spicy and opens up in the glass. The acidity complements the fresh oak character and combines with remarkable sweetness. The finish has faint notes of lavender and cherries and a particular note of apricot.
100% Old Vine Malbec sourced from Perdiel (1918), Agrelo (1904), and Vistalba (1905) Vineyards in Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza and Lunlunta Vineyard (1919) in Maipu, Mendoza.
Sweet, ripe cherries and berries with vanilla, aniseed, cinnamon and cumin, as well as a hint of eucalyptus and red apple (not in a bad way). A medium-to full-bodied red with a juicy, concentrated mid-palate. A mouthful of ripe, juicy and seamless tannins that are chiseled into the ripe berries. Long and creamy with sweet berries in the finish.
Ripe plum, licorice, and crushed pebbles aromas lead to a flavorful palate with a savory blend of blueberry, blackberry, herbs and chocolate. It is medium-bodied, has slightly unripe tannins, and just enough acidity to back the flavors. Overall, this red is very enjoyable. -J.V.
