A malbec (with 40% of Cabernet Sauvignon) from a single vineyard in Mayor Drummond district of Lujan de Cuyo Departament, Central Mendoza.
Astonishing malbec based red that catches your palate right off the first sip. Not to mention the great nose and aromas at the beginning. Deep and powerfull with very expressive black fruits and sweet chocolate. There is a complexity toward spice and peppery notes. The wine opens up completely after 40 minutes. I don´t imagne this one better in any time of the future even though the tannins are realy firm and vividly strong. Thinking of 6 to 8 years for a momentum is reasonable. A 94 point malbec based blend born to be a supergreat wine and Argentina´s value.
