Salentein Reserve Malbec 2021

The 2021 Malbec Salentein Reserve is a blend of grapes from Los Árboles and Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley and was aged for 12 months in used French (30%) and American (70%) barrels. Purple in the glass. The no-nonsense nose offers notes of ripe red fruit with a little fresh plum and hints of spice. It’s voluminous in the mouth with polished tannins and fruity flavor enlivened by the precise freshness. A rewarding wine. Drinking window: 2022-2029. Score – 90.
