Finca Sophenia 2008 Altosur Malbec (Tupungato)

Country: Argentina / Altosur
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Finca Sophenia / Tupungato

Opens with earthy muscle but the nose soon loses focus and freshness as it transitions to rubber and paste along with berry fruit. Hard tannins work the driving palate, while the flavors are of black plum, grape jelly and herbs. Decent but doesn’t inspire.
