Oenologists are well aware that a touch of Malbec softens up a Cabernet Sauvignon. In this case the measure is 5% and both came from Gualtallary, Uco Valley, before being 30% aged in new French barrels. Intense red in the glass with a purple meniscus. The nose delivers aromas of roasted bell pepper, fresh plum and black currant with a hint of mint. But it really comes into its own in the mouth: good body, excellent flow and fruitiness with firm tannins and well-judged intensity of flavor.
