Drinking Window: 2022 - 2028
This Argentinian take on a Bordeaux blend is a classy customer, combining 42% Malbec, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 6% Tannat – all organic. Beguiling aromatics: black cherry edged in black pepper, smoke, herbs and flowers. Luscious black berries and cherry fruit on the palate, with fine, ripe tannins. Structured and intense but beautifully balanced.
