"Coming from one of the top 'crus' within the vineyard, this wine truly embodies the ever-more burgundian approach to top Malbecs over the previous bordeaux-style school. Blind-tasting students beware … It feels like a youthful Gevrey-Chambertin! The tannins are filagree and the acidity is vibrant with lighter fruit concentration, but a savoury mineral backbone and a floral flourish at the end. As approachable as it is now, this is still a baby – a wine which should evolve nicely for decades to come. (AB)"
