TASTING NOTE
A vibrant expression of Malbec, aromas of ripe bramble fruits and black cherry are interwoven with subtle hints of sandalwood, tea leaves, and cloves. On the palate, it presents a harmonious blend of graphite and gentle oak tannins, accented by a touch of star anise and more cherry notes. The finish is bright, lively, and elegantly sustained.
