Tasting

A unique, atypical and captivating vintage! Malbec makes a notable appearance. The overall balance is famous and distinguished. Deep and sustained color. The nose is powerful and suggests notes of ripe fruit. The attack is supple and full, the structure reveals a convincing Bordeaux. The finish is smooth and long.
