Benegas Lynch La Encerrada Vineyard Malbec 2019

Profound and complex with blackberries, walnuts, vanilla, crushed stones and a savory, balsamic edge. A full-bodied malbec with a juicy core of black fruit, wrapped by dense, polished tannins. Very long and tight. Seductive now, but better wait until 2024. [Drink through 2027+.] Ranked #68 in James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of Argentina in 2022. Score – 95. (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 30, 2022)
