Flechas de los Andes "Gran" Malbec, Mendoza 2007

Saturated purple.

Vinturi - deep, slightly baked, black fruit, coconut, earth/nut nose.

Round, concentrated, with some textural sweetness. Black fruit and coconut in the mouth, with significant acid/tannin synergy clenching the front teeth. Nice follow through in the finish. Very young and likely to develop well in the bottle.


$17. Cheap. Collaboration between Rothschild and Dassault.
