| Notes | "This wine is sourced from old vineyards from Luján de Cuyo – the region responsible for reviving Malbec’s fortunes in the 1990s. Made by Magdalena Viani and Germán Di Césare in a traditional character but given a modern expression. Vivid purple in the glass, the nose delivers fresh plum and cherry, violets and sweet spices. Balanced and velvety, with polished tannins, it will go excellently with a juicy steak." (Decanter Magazine) | |||
Additional Notes "The 2020 Malbec Golden Reserve was 85% aged in one-fifth new barrels, the rest in . The nose offers extremely clear notes of both ripe and fresh fruit, such as cherry and floral aromas, including violets. Having spent a year in the bottle, it’s firm with voluminous tannins. Silky but crisp with a nimble flow. The trick to achieving a profile like this in a warm year is the 8% dash of grapes from the 2021 harvest, even though the earlier year remains on the label (the law allows this up to a 15% share)." (Wine Advocate) "Black cherries and scented violets with some currants and baking spice, too. The tight and juicy palate provides an elegant expression of the fruit." (James Suckling) |
