Pipe tobacco, wild blackberry, leather lead this medium-bodied, concentrated Malbec, one that is made from 85-year-old vines from the Don Angelino estate in Medrano, Mendoza. 10 months in French oak ups the structure, but the density of the fruit can handle it, leaving tannins plush and welcoming. Juicy black plum, vanilla-dried black raspberry and dark chocolate cherry close out the lingering, spicy finish.
