Argentina Malbec. Big fan of this variant - almost always a forwardly fruity and hedonistic experience w Argentine Malbecs and this specimen is no exception. Blackcurrant notes diffuses generously from the glass upon pouring, not much swirling, air or coaxing required. Enjoyable from the onset. V smooth entry. Tannic backbone is there but not overwhelming. Acids in check. Plenty of black fruits and liquorice. Heavy and dense. An enjoyable, measured finish at the end. Label says 'from old vines' and this may well have contributed to the polish. Well made and excellent QPR (8.3/10). (Picked this and another bottle up from a lineup of >50 wines on tasting and sale).
