TASTING NOTE: 100% Malbec. Big, rich, round and powerful, this is [a] very typical expression of Cafayate with a lovely purity in the fruit. Nothing is out of place and the alcohol is very well balanced. A good way to get to know the grape - pair with grilled lamb. Score - 95 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2018) |
