Two reds from 'Valle Azul' district in Ro Negro Valley, North Patagonia.
The malbec is just beautiful and expressing perfectly the North patagonia´s imprints. Nicely dense and tannic without any bothering acidity. Sweet and round like a perfect compote of red cherrries red plum and quince (membrillo). Nice soft envelope of dark chocolaty and smoke from oak complete on the palate. The wine opened to its best during the few days uncorked reaching a nice 92 point from the starting 90 point. A greart value to enjoy once and again.
The merlot counterpart is fresh and fair but not even close to this beauty. It reaches an 86 point with variety and terroir tipicity but lossing everything one day after uncorked.
