A signature malbec from Tupungato Valley (part of Uco Valley)
Round and wide malbec with nice and dominant toach of vainilla coconut and exquisite dark chocolate. Even so, the fruit is present first toach and quite concentrated. Red cherries and forrest cherries with strawberries too. Nice balance of alcohol and acidity. A 90 point malbec with 6 to 8 years span of plateau. Great value no doubt but a style that some may not enjoy given the dominant oaky stuff. I like it and enjoyed a lot.
