Tasting notes
There are very ripe aromas in the nose of the 2017 Reserva Malbec that come through as fruit driven and relatively simple and straightforward. This lacks weight in the palate and feels quite light. A whopping 960,000 bottles were produced.

Bright, dark red with ruby tones. More leafy on the nose than the Reserva Cabernet, showing darker cassis and blackberry aromas with complicating notes of menthol and licorice. Fine-grained but a bit youthfully clenched, with an element of saline minerality accentuating the wine's somewhat austere character. In a rather cool style, offering little in the way of easy sweetness.
Extremely perfumed with bright berry, black-fruit, spice and floral aromas. Full to medium body, round yet firm tannins and an extremely long and flavorful finish. Polished tannins. Drink or hold.
About the producer
This estate was created by Moët & Chandon in the early 1990s, focused on still wine from high-altitude sites in Mendoza. The property focuses on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, but is best known for its collaboration with Cheval Blanc, Cheval des Andes.
