Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThis is an archetypical Mendoza malbec sourced from vineyards in Lujan de Cuyo, San Carlos, and Medran, and spends nine months in French oak. It shows sweet black fruits and a floral lift alongside a touch of evolution, which I find surprising for a wine of this age. The ripeness of the fruit gives a perception of sweetness to the palate, but it's more medium-bodied than full with moderate concentration. Drink now.Tasted: 07 February 2020Tasted by: Prices:
Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaSweet baking spices open this ripe, expansive malbec, one that is led by cola and sarsaparilla, centred by ripe plums and stewed cherries, and framed with raspy tannins. Sourced from three sites in Luján de Cuyo up to 3600 ft, this spent ten months in French oak. This year's fruit lacks the definition seen in the past; a twist of acidity would bring this up to the next level. As it is, its slightly muddled mid palate signifies drinking now with dark meat poultry or goat.Tasted: 21 March 2019Tasted by: Prices:
