Mendoza Vineyards 1907 Malbec 2018

This Malbec, from Medrano, undergoes four daily pumpovers and is aged in new French and American oak for 12 months. It has a tightly coiled bouquet with blackberry, soy and singed leather emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh, lively dark berry fruit infused with bay leaf and tobacco. It is nicely balanced with a fresh mocha-tinged finish with keen acidity. This has the edge over the Unsung Hero in terms of tension and length and comes recommended.
