| BARREL SELECTION MALBEC 2014 Patagonia |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
FABRE MONTMAYOU |
| Extremely deep intense ruby colour. Terse, mineral-tinged, somewhat herbal, dried plum nose. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, slightly herbal, baked plum-apple-cherry flavours with a very crisp, fairly high acid, still youthful somewhat peppery finish. Should improve with age. This new bottling with lot number CVL24216 on the back label has 14.5% alcohol and only 2 g/L residual sugar. May not be the same batch that won the International Trophy for Red Single-Varietal over £15 at the 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards. ARGENTINA Feature (12 items). One of 33 NEW releases in Vintages. |

| TASTING NOTE: This is an absolutely textbook, pure expression of Malbec from the south of Argentina. With considerable depth, it has many layers of aromas and flavours, with the crunchy, spicy, sweet black fruit delivered in a rounded, elegant, textured manner with great concentration and freshness (14.5%). Winner of the International Trophy for Red Single-Varietal over £15 at the 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards. Score - International Trophy (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2015) |
