On the palate, this Malbec delivers a velvety, medium-to-full-bodied texture that coats the palate. The ripe black fruit flavours continue, displaying pleasant intensity and depth. The balance between fruit and oak is beautiful, with gentle oak influence adding complexity. Well-integrated tannins provide structure and harmony.

The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering dark fruit and spice notes. This wine exemplifies the prowess of Malbec in Mendoza, showcasing rich, fruit-forward flavours with finesse. It can be enjoyed now or cellared for further development. Pair it with grilled meats, hearty stews, or strong cheeses. Serve it cool to appreciate its intricate flavours and smooth character fully.
