Anoro Malbec (75cl, 13.5%)

A 100% Malbec from Alto Agrelo, Mendoza, Argentina, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Sourced from ungrafted vineyards with an average vine age of 22 years, planted in alluvial soils at elevations reaching 3,600 feet. The wine spends 14 months in 50% new French oak barrels and is bottled without fining or filtration. Aroma opens with wood smoke and spice box, then violets, black cherry, ripe plum, forest floor, earth and bittersweet chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with black cherry liqueur, well-integrated vanilla from oak and old-vine depth. The finish is structured and persistent, with lingering dark fruit and subtle cocoa bitterness.
