Bold nose full of black cherry, violet, vanilla and clove. The palate is full and rich, with layers of ripe fruit and enough tannin to give it shape.

Vinous

The 2019 Malbec, from Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, was aged for a year in 40% used oak. Garnet with a purple sheen. The nose offers red fruit with notes of mint and balsam. It’s plush with clay-based tannins and a ripe flavor. The 2019 is a little extractive on the tongue.
