Bodega Noemia 2021 A Lisa Patagonia 750ml

The 2021 Malbec A Lisa from Mainqué, Río Negro was 15% aged in barrels. A bright purple in the glass. The nose offers violets, fresh plum, sour cherry and pinches of country herb. In the mouth, it has a tea-like texture with a degree of grip and a finely grained, juicy flow before the flavorful finish, which lingers at remarkable length given the fruity style. This is a red that manages to deliver intense flavor while maintaining a relaxed feel.
