Escorihuela 1884 Estate Grown Malbec 2014

Mendoza, ArgentinaThis perfumed, plush and potent dark fruited malbec is from higher altitude vineyards in the foothills of the Andes, and spends eight months in 70/30 French/American oak. Ample sweet oak evident here, framing dense and super ripe blackcurrant, earthy cassis, dusty stones and smoked branch flavours. The finish is clipped with a dusty and granular cocoa grip. Best matched to grilled meats; indeed, that is what this wine is designed for.Tasted: 25 July 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
