The Argentines make full-bodied reds that go well with the nations obsession for Steak. This is the Reserve Malbec from Argento showing much more concentration of flavour and intensity of fruit. It’s dark and broody in colour with immense aromas of plums and blackcherries. These are reflected on the palate as well as an oak complexity that adds flavours of chocolate and vanilla while supple tannins round it out nicely.
Awards and Accolades
GOLD - Decanter World Wine Awards
2012 Vintage:
Decanter: 4/5 Delicious ripe dark fruit nose with cloves and oak hints. Concentrated juicy palate with toasty undertones. Fresh and elegant finish.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Argento has found its calling with this wine, by far the best to date from this label. It’s deep and pure, with raisin, blackberry, spice and vanilla on the nose. Super solid and lush, with layered flavors of jammy berry, coffee and chocolate. Holds all its form on the finish; excellent vino for the dollar.
