Valle Las Acequias Malbec Oak 2011
Mendoza, ArgentinaPipe tobacco, wild blackberry, leather lead this medium bodied, concentrated malbec, one that is made from 85-year-old vines from the Don Angelino estate in Medrano, Mendoza. Ten months in French oak ups the structure, but the density of the fruit can handle it, leaving tannins plush and welcoming. Juicy black plum, vanilla-dried black raspberry and dark chocolate cherry close out the lingering, spicy finish.Tasted: 25 July 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $22.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
