"The 2020 Malbec Altos Terroir Valle de Uco is a good expression of the Uco Valley terroir. Aged for 18 months in concrete vats, with an additional 25% inÿfoudres. It's a vivid purple in the glass. The nose offers ripe notes of plum and red berry jam, complemented by herb and graphite hints. It has a dry, medium-bodied profile. The tannins and chalky texture contribute to a compact mouthfeel that focuses the flavors nicely before the lingering, ripe fruit finish."
