Terrazas de los Andes 2021 Reserva Malbec 750ml

The 2021 Malbec Reserva is sourced from the Uco Valley and was aged 40% in used French oak barrels, while the other 60% spent a year in tanks. It has a purple hue. On the nose, it features violets, plums, cherries, orange peel and herbs. With supple tannins and a velvety texture, the palate lingers for a long time, with a thinner volume than it used to have. The 2021 vintage exhibits a refreshing shift in style towards a more primary profile.
