WineDiva's Review

Complete, complete, woven.
This Malbec has a new look and it hails from old vines planted at 960masl on the Andes Ridge in the province of Mendoza.
Notes of sweet cedar chips and cherry brandy and woven with vanilla, chocolate shavings, pipe tobacco and savoury spices. It has a silky entry is complex and balanced with bold black fruit and spice.
Postured and complete, it's a wine with substance.
Pair: grilled or roasted meats, mushroom and thyme stuffed ravioli, hard cheeses.


Second Review: February 2021
Attractive aromas of chocolate cherries, blackberries and dried violets atop vanilla, licorice and cardamom. Silky on the tongue it has a supple weight and sweet smooth tannins. Lovely balance here with an extended finish trailing cocoa and leather flavours.

 
Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Barbeque, Good First Impressions
