Parra Alta, Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina, 2014

(2.25 litre bag in box) This Argentinian Malbec from Mendoza has a pared back nose of blackberry with floral notes. The palate has a sweet, baked cherry and prune character with some violet and sweet spice hints. There's a slightly woody character at the back of the palate, both in flavour and texture, and the finish is short.
