Bodegas Escorihuela 1884 Limited Production Malbec 2007, Mendoza, Argentina


I first tasted this wine at the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival. The aromatics were just as nice as I remember, with aromas of  ripe berries, stewed plums, blackcurrants, white pepper, burnt sugar,  savoury and cedar notes. On the mouthfeel, full bodied, lively acidity, smooth tannins with sweet ripe fruit covering the palate. This Malbec finish is long with great energy, generous flavours concentrated but not overdone. This wine is drinking well right now with years of enjoyment left to come. Well made and very enjoyable, score 92 points.  

Purchased at the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival wine shop March 2, 2012 at $29.99.
