WineDiva's Review

NEW, impressive, decadent.
This second edition single varietal release Malbec is as impressive as its predecessor; yet different. It is more savoury this vintage; black raspberries and bruised cherry aromas are layered with dried hers, smoked meat and vanilla. It is slick and substantial, rich and elegant; expect flavours of brown spices, espresso, dark chocolate and dusty plums culminating in a licorice flavoured finish.
