| Tasting Note: From the high altitudes of the Calchaqui Valley of Salta in northern Argentina, comes a malbec with lovely, complex pure blackberry/plum fruit, fresh cedar, caraway, florals and spice. It is full bodied, very smooth, elegant and refined with fine tannin. Easy drinking yet profound in its way, with excellent length and a calming sense of graphite on the finish. So nicely rendered. Score - 93. (David Lawrason, winealign.com, May 13, 2019) |
