Altocedro 2014 Año Cero Malbec (La Consulta)

Country: Argentina / Año Cero
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Altocedro / La Consulta

Forced woody aromas and flavors are a persistent theme on this Uco Valley Malbec, which smells a bit horsey and stewed. Dense black-fruit flavors are roasted and peppery, while wood and related resin notes rise up on the back palate. Rustic power and fiery heat are loud elements on a fully oaked finish.
