A wonderful Late Harvest malbec from Cafayate Valley, Salta Province, Northeast Argentina.

A display of delicate caramelized figs and black plums keeping a soft toasted note quite alluring.
Delicate even expressive. Not near as acid and strong as a Ruby Port, but someway very attractive (Alc 13,6 % vol and 60 g/L sugar). A 90 point late harvest Malbec from ´Valles Calchaquies´. Great value too. It shows a late harvest malbec may reach interesting and high placed resound.
