Valle Las Acequias Malbec Oak 2006
Medrano, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaMade from old vine - 85+ years - and you can taste the intensity. Expect a big sweet New World nose with floral mineral undertones and fresh notes of cranberry and black fruits. The palate is awash in rich sweet, spicy, savoury fruit flavours with a warm vanilla-brushed finish. Big red and glossy this will handle any grilled meat dish or old hard cheese. Good value.Tasted: 26 November 2010Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $22.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
