Tasting notes
The 2019 Grand Vin is a Malbec with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot from Vistalba and Las Compuertas and was barrel-aged for 16 months in 50% new oak. A vivid purple in the glass. The complex nose delivers dark fruit, plum, redcurrant, oak and stock hints. Creamy and broad with a fairly smooth texture and grippy, finely-grained tannins. The voluminous body is almost velvety in feel. An excellent balance has been achieved between the volume, acidity and alcohol.

The 2019 Grand Vin is a blend of 85% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot (from Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo) and was aged for 16 months in 50% new barrels. Purple in the glass. The 2019 has a complex aromatic profile of ripe plum, violets and subtle secondary notes of oak, white pepper, ash and tobacco. It’s broad in the mouth with an expansive flow, mild concentration and refined tannins. The oak enhances the region’s customary volume, and the freshness ensures a juicy feel. An accomplished, long-lasting wine.
