Grape variety: Malbec
The wine is deep ruby in colour. A developing, harmonious and complex nose of strong intensity; dried black berries, prune, liquorice, bay leaf, some balsamic notes, violet, black pepper and tobacco. It is a big, full-bodied wine on the palate, well-structured and balanced, meaty, with ample fine chewy tannins, gently warming alcohol and fresh acidity; flavours of spices, dried black berries and liquorice in quite a long finish. It will improve with further ageing.
