TASTING NOTES: Purplish red, brightand medium intensity red wine. On nose, typical Malbec aromas can be appreciated, like those of fresh black plums, cherries, blackberries, violets, and wild herbs, all perfectly combined with the notes of chocolate, clove and toasted oak from the aging process. The mouth-feel is dry, rich and juicy. It flows leaving a velvety sensation in the mouth. Expressive with strong fine-grained tannins. Long lasting finish.
