Bodega Amalaya
Salta Estate Grown Malbec
Salta, Northwestern Provinces, Argentina
Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Nose of black currants, blackberries, plums, vanilla, oak, alcohol, vegetables, coffee, herbs, green pepper, black tea, tobacco and black pepper.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cherries, oak, cloves, green vegetables, herbs, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, smoke, spices, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.
Medium plus in finish with firm tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very nice and intense Malbec from Argentina. Not fully balanced yet, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Showing nice complexity, and needs another year or two in the bottle to mature.
Good with food or by just by itself and better after an hour of opening up.

Would pair very well with BBQ Meats.
13.9% alcohol by volume.
