"The purity of fruit and transparency is mind-blowing here with fresh blackberries, white pepper, salt and chalk. It,s crunchy and flawless in its expression of high-altitude malbec. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and a long and breathtaking finish. Made in concrete and aged 16 months in cask. From a small vineyard at 1,500 meters on the slopes of the Andes. Only 3,000 bottles made. Drink now."
