TASTING NOTE: This is from a blend of Salentein vineyards in the Uco Valley. 70% of the wine was aged in used barrels for 12 months, and that lends smoothness, but most of all the wine has ripe red fruits in the midst of violet tones in a red that serves as an entry-level malbec from Uco. Score - 91 (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2020) |
