Alta Vista 'Alizarine' Malbec 2020, Lujan de Cuyo, Argentina

Opaque appearance with an inky dark red core. Aromas of intensity and power, wood smoke, preserved meats and dark berries. There’s a deep core of black clay and stone preceding scents of roasted plums and dark chocolate then a mix of barrel and earth spices. Full-died and fruity as the wine touches the palate, flavours mirror the bouquet with a firm structure from polished tannins and acidity. There’s also a satin touch with each new taste along with a fresh coffee bean then more chocolate flavours. Best drinking from day or purchase through 2035+.
