Tasting Notes
A malbec that has a great intensity with blue, violet and black tones. On the nose we find aromas of plum, blackcurrant, raspberry. Very complex due to its aging in wood, highlighting the notes of cloves, vanilla and tobacco. In the mouth it is structured, with sweet and balanced tannins.
