Michel Torino 2012 Don David Reserve Malbec (Calchaquí Valley)

Country: Argentina / Don David Reserve
Variety: Malbec Other
Winery: Michel Torino / Calchaquí Valley

This is one exotic number. The nose shows blueberry, boysenberry, charcoal, plenty of oak and hints of cardamom and star anise. A lush, layered palate is intense but doesn’t hit too hard, while concentrated blackberry, licorice and spice flavors set up a peppery, minty finish that’s stout and structured.
