Country: Argentina / Mendoza Province
Variety: Malbec
Winery: Monteviejo / Lindaflor
As a whole, this is top-shelf Malbec with weight, character and complexities. It’s also a touch gamy on the nose, with a no-miss blast of compost. Beyond that, the palate shows lemony oak and tight tannins on top of oaky, leathery flavors of robust berry and baked plum. Drink this rock-solid specimen now through 2016.
