This wine is 100% Malbec, maturation taking place
in 60% new French oak and 40% second-use French barrels with alcohol coming in
at 14%. Very attractive nose on this Malbec with aromas of black cherry, ripe berries,
chocolate, smoky and gentle wood spices. On the mouthfeel, full bodied, very
tasty with a solid core of ripe fruit, fresh acidity and silky tannins. Very
good length on the finish, slightly creamy with flavours of ripe wild berries
savoury spices and chocolate lingering. This is a very rich and well structured
Malbec where the oak treatment is noticeable but not overdone. Strongly
recommended, score 90 points.
