Tasting: Argentinian Terroir Malbec

Strangely stalky notes on the palate with echoes of Cabernet. Misses slightly on the mid-palate. Relatively structured.

16.5/20
88/100

Phil Crozier

Tasting: Argentinian Terroir Malbec

Lovely nose. Deep black fruits, coffee and mocha notes. Lovely fruit, nice use of oak. Just a little aggressive on the finish.

Patricio Tapia

Tasting: Argentinian Terroir Malbec

Red and black flavours together. Nice and bright acidity, well integrated. Tannins pungent and firm. Nice spicy finish.
