An unusual wine for Argentina, this Malbec from Luján de Cuyo spent eight-and-a-half years in old oak before it was bottled in May 2019. Dominated by the aging, it presents a nose of peat, camphor, black olive and dry flowers; fruit is very much an afterthought. Well-developed, conveying a gentle feel, a silky texture and active tannins that lightly brush the gums to augur a long life span. A sunny Burgundy made in the old style to last for a very long time.

Tart cherry and a little mint. Tannins nicely integrated.

Got it during sale and it seems to be spoiled already. Shame! It seems like a good wine based on the ratings.

Pretty great, mellow for a Malbec but really well integrated. Lush fruit, silky tannins, cedar chips.
