Country: Argentina / Magdalena Toso Limited 20 Barrels
Variety: Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon Mendoza Province
Winery: Pascual Toso / Mendoza
This is a potent brew with complexities galore, but there’s also a simplicity about it that’s appealing. Its raw size is bracing, but the structure and fabric of this Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon scream balance. Aromas of lead pencil, sawdust, coconut and brandied cherries introduce briary dark-berry flavors. A long, minty, power-packed finish says lay this down for a few years; drink from 2014–2020.
