Lamadrid 2008 Matilde Single Vineyard Malbec (Agrelo)

Country: Argentina / Matilde Single Vineyard
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Lamadrid / Agrelo

Like the winery’s Gran Reserva ’08, this is a saturated bomber that rides along the edge of overripeness. Aromas of baked berry, cassis, vanilla and coconut are rich and oaky. It feels tannic, with a beam of shrill acidity that props up flavors that otherwise might seem raisiny or pruney. Chocolate and wood resin tones pile up on the finish.
