This 2021 has a deep intense dark purple colour and an attractive, slightly spicy, gently juicy, ripe, plum-black-cherry purée nose with some blueberry-tinged, very gently cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, bright, attractive, ripe, plum-cherry-raspberry flavours with a lingering, harmonious, very gently cedary, mineral-tinged finish. Ready-to-drink - excellent value. This reliable 100% Malbec has 60% of the wine aged in French oak for 12 months. It has 14.5% alcohol and under 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L19123 on the back label. |

TASTING NOTE: The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It's initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price. Drinking window: 2023-2030.
