50+-year-old vines and low yields makes up this full-bodied Malbec. The 10 months in French barriques is felt through the smoky wood staves that structure sweet red fruit, plum, raspberry jam, leather, tobacco and tar. Wood-grained tannins stick out some now, but will integrate more into this concentrated red with time. Warm flush on the finish, welcoming grilled meats.
