Natalie's Score: 90/100

Stunning concentration of aromas and flavors with excellent balance robust Argentine red wine. Round, polished tannins give a velvet mouth-feel. This wine was aged 14 months in French oak. Nightcap anyone? A richly hued wine that finishes with black plum, mocha and vanilla spice. The estate vineyards are located between 1,110 and 1,700 metres above sea level and benefit from five different microclimates.

Malbec food pairings: lamb cutlets, pasta, beef tenderloin.

Reviews and Ratings

Joanne Paterson rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Enjoyable sipper. Beautiful Royal purple colour. Medium bodied with nice tannins. A noticeable plummy flavour and hints of spice. Elegant finish. I'd recommend this as a good buy! Cheers.
