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. (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, October 2020)

Tart cherry and a little mint. Tannins nicely integrated.

Выпито 20.12.20 в ресторане Руски 354 с Гапоновыми. Очень необычный мальбек 2010 года. Безумно понравилось.

Really, really savory and tasty. I can see why some call this the Chateau Musar or South America. Nothing like a normal Malbec...nor is it particularly similar to Cahors. It’s in a league of its own. Body: Medium+ Acidity: Medium- Tannin: Medium+ Typicity: Low millennialwinegeek.com
