Larrea 2010 Gran Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina / Gran Reserva
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Larrea / Mendoza

This smells mildly reduced and candied at first, with notes of blackberry, horse hide and licorice. Firm, chewy and lush on the palate, this full-force Malbec delivers ripe blackberry, boysenberry, spice and rooty licorice flavors prior to a spicy, dark finish that’s bolstered by firm acidity. Drink through 2019.
