TASTING NOTE: 100% Malbec. Saturated dark black-purple in colour, with arrestingly floral aromas, alluring plum, damson and sloe fruits and a grind of pink peppercorn, too: so splendid in its youthful appeal that it seems a shame to wait any longer, though the depth of the wine suggests that it would take ageing in its stride. On the palate, the wine is dark, concentrated and once again head-turningly floral and fresh, without any evident 'heat' or overripeness. Brilliant Malbec from a great site. Drink date: 2018-2023.
