Lionel Osmin & Cie 2010 Estela Solera Malbec-Merlot (Vin de Liqueur)

Country: France / Estela Solera
Variety: Malbec-Merlot France Other
Winery: Lionel Osmin & Cie / Vin de Liqueur

Made in a similar fashion to Sherry with a solera that is topped up, this was aged outside for a year to concentrate the wine and its flavors. A sweet wine, it has a richly nutty, peppery character to balance the ripe plum fruits. Softly textured, just hinting at the alcohol used for fortification, this is a rare, fascinating and very drinkable wine.
