Tasting notes
The color is intense with violet tones, typical of this grape variety. The nose is expressive, dominated by fruity aromas of plums and cherries, along with characteristic floral notes of violet from the Uco Malbec. On the palate, the attack is round with fine, polished, and dense tannins that provide a magnificent mid-palate. The mineral character, freshness, subtle oak influence, and long finish make this wine an example of quality, elegance, and excellence. Serve at 16°C.Decant for 1 hour.
