Alamos Selección Malbec 2017

Mendoza, ArgentinaAlamos opens with sweet floral tones and a savoury dried black fruit aroma. The attack is broad and juicy with tasty blackberry jam, black pepper, and toasted oak filling in the finish. The tannins are moderate, more structural than textural, and the acid is medium fresh, making it eminently sippable now. The fruit comes off higher altitude La Consulta sites in the Uco Valley. Value and quality are nice monikers to attach to this easy sipping red.Tasted: 27 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
