Decero 2019 Malbec Remolinos Vineyard 750ml

The 2019 Malbec Decero (from the Remolinos Vineyard, Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo) was aged for 14 months in barrels, a quarter of them new. Purple in hue. The nose offers balsamic notes of bay leaf over layers of dark fruit, blackberry and a hint of sour cherry. Made more complex by the aging process, the reactive, polished tannins are muscular and firm, resulting in a compact ending.
