Very deep intense purple colour. Intense, complex, spicy, mocha-chocolate nose with lots of ripe plummy, black cherry fruit. Dry medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, rather spicy, faintly mocha-chocolate-tinged, ripe plum-cherry purée flavours with some cassis notes on the lingering gently cedary finish. This fine Malbec has 13.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L22025 on the back label. The recommended 2018 (**+) with 89-points was released on February 20, 2021 at $22.95. |

TASTING NOTE: The pale and delicious 2019 Appellation Lunlunta Malbec is expressive and floral and really thriving in this cool vintage. This is fresh and ethereal, a lot fresher than the traditional Malbecs from the zone. It's juicy with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity. 330,000 bottles produced. Volumes have grown in this range but the quality remains. The Appellation range delivers excellent value and would be my go-to range for casual quality drinking at incredible prices. Drink date: 2021-2025. Score - 93 (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, March 31, 2021) |
