Argentina Malbec. A beauty! Was sceptical as always w the avante garde label but it proved unfounded. Dark, brooding deep purple colour. The nose was still q tight - only some fruity notes peeking, a pity. In the mouth, excellent mouthfill with its roundness and lush texture. Fruitcake and confectionary flavours interlaced w spice coating your palate. Opulent. The extraction and intensity is superb, although there was some slight bitter tannic notes. Would be a 90 pointer if Nose was as alluring (8.2/10). However, at this price point (S$90, US$75), it's way beyond what I'd be willing to pay for a S American wine no matter how tempting.
