Variety: Malbec
Region: Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina
Vintage: 2012
Closure: Cork
Alcohol: 13.5%
Colour: Dark purple
Bouquet: Dark fruit/ sultanas in Christmas cake, dark chocolate
Flavour: The flavours follow from the nose. Very nice length and poise, thanks to good acidity. Not as full on as the Norton but a lot happening.
Points: 86 (3+7+11+8+7+50)
Notes: The winner from our tasting although I thought the Norton was marginally better. The first tasting in a long time where we didn't have a big range in scores.
