A malbec Port-like (fortified) from Maipu Departament, central mendoza, with 18 % vol alcohol and 11,8 gr residual sugar. 24 months in oak barriques.
This time not less than a magnificent red where the sweetness is complely balanced by chocolate and dark dry cherries and blueberries. Something like toasted fresh figs with dark sugar. A 90 point fortified malbec complex and balanced.It will live sound more than 10 yeras for sure.
