Viña 1924 De Angeles Gran Malbec 2012
Vistalba District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaOld vines are a big part of the story at Viña 1924 De Angeles Gran 2012 Malbec. The fruit here is 100 percent malbec and it comes off Parcel 3 at Vistalba, a site planted in 1924. Density is a medium 7,200 plants per hectare and the irrigation is old school by furrow. This wine never ceases to amaze from its big black licorice, black cherry, earthy, smoky nose to its savoury, intense palate awash in black cherries, smoked licorice root, tobacco, orange peel and vanilla flavours. A wonderful expression of old vine malbec made with just the right touch of modernity. The farming is organic and the fruit picked for the Gran Malbec is picked a week later than the regular.Tasted: 24 July 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $60.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
