Malbec Reserve, Raza, 2017
La Rioja, Argentina
With deep violet colours and ruby hues, this Malbec Reserve is one to be savoured slowly and admired in the glass. Aromas of red and black fruit, most notably plums and cherries predominate the nose. Meanwhile, the palate is heavily influenced by the oak in which the wine has matured. The bouquet is also heavily influenced by the oak ageing with vanilla, dark chocolate and tobacco all present and adding complex layers to this fantastic wine.
