Tasting note
Aromas of dark berries like such as blueberries, cassis and blackberries, and floral notes which are the result of the cold year. The subtle calcareous notes add complexity. This Malbec offers good natual acidity and excellent alcohol balance. Good flow of very fine tannins. Compact and intense wine.
