Tasting: Argentinian Terroir Malbec
Dense blueberries with meaty overtones. Firm tannic structure is a bit too dry.
Phil Crozier
Tasting: Argentinian Terroir Malbec
Showing some tiredness, which really should not be happening here. Juicy on the palate, with some nice purity, but a bit sticky and sweet on the finish.
Patricio Tapia
Tasting: Argentinian Terroir Malbec
Liquorice flavours and dark fruits. Oak feels predominant. Dry flowers and tea leaf notes show how late the grapes were harvested.
