"The 2019 Edad Media Tinto will be released in one more year, perhaps in early 2024, but it was bottled around May 2023 and was already available for tasting. In 2019, a cooler year, it was produced with 80% Malbec and the rest Cabernet Franc and Merlot, so it has a lot more Malbec as they are going for a clear majority of the flagship grape. The wine is more aromatic, with notes of violets that are nicely spiced up by the other grapes. I tasted this next to the 2018 and also a 2017, and there is more finesse each year, with more elegant tannins and a subtler mouthfeel. They always produce between 5,000 and 6,000 bottles of this wine."
