Description
- Tasting: Malbec expresses itself with purity in this deep, inky-black wine, with aromas of blackberry and cassis, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fleshy, powerful and velvety, supported by tight but well-coated tannins, showing a rare elegance right through to the finish. This wine is a model of elegance, richness, power and deliciousness.
