2012 Pascual Toso Malbec Alta Reserva Las Barrancas Vineyards

They produce a very small amount of this wine and this is one of the big boys of Argentina, they produce a lot of Sparkling wine they are the second largest producer here.  Blueberry and blackberry fruit on the nose this wine is very well endowed, black licorice spice, violet floral notes and dark chocolate notes, nice concentration from the  80 year old vines for this cuvee.  A big and chewy style of Malbec with dark berry fruit, black licorice spice and a host of tannins but fairly ripe and round, excellent structure here this wine needs a bit of time but has everything in proportion.  Finish 45+    Most Excellent
