2021 Mendoza Malbec, Mendel
Mendoza, Argentina
This is a timeless Malbec made from vines with an average age of 90 years and aged in Taransaud Burgundy barrels it has incredible depth and stature.
The aromas of sweet French oak and espresso get more complex with every swirl of the glass, unveiling black plum, ripe raspberry, and violet aromas. The wine is full-bodied, dense, deep and chewy with flavours of black raspberry, plums, roasted herbs, and mint. Spice touches and licorice hints contribute complexity. The ageing in French oak masterfully integrates the subtle vanilla and caramel nuances. It is a balanced, refreshing and very easy-to-drink wine which boasts a lingering finish.

92 points – Wine Advocate March 2021
“I tasted two vintages of the estate Malbec, of which the 2020 Malbec feels fresher and more elegant, with expressive aromas of berries and aromatic herbs, a spicy twist but nicely integrated and in the background. This has a medium-bodied palate with soft tannins and great balance.”
92 points – James Suckling, February 2021
“Attractive black-cherry, plum, light green-tobacco and stem aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, layered and delicious.
