"The Mariflor Malbec 2012 shows powerful lactic notes, aromas of ripe plums, blueberries and lots of violets. Concentrated and ripe, it develops balsamic aromas with time. Very compact on the palate, there are no gaps. Tannins are abundant, acidity is good and makes the wine well-balanced. This is a modernized classic, fermented in concrete tanks with indigenous yeasts and aged in barrels for 15 months. It will improve with time." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)

About the wine:
Almost black. Coquettish perfumed style with hints of leather on the palate. Plenty of tannin and acidity. Dry finish.

Great! Open 3 hours before drinking. Melting tannins and a very pleasant mouthfeel. Relatively discreet nose. Keep for a few more years.
