"From a select block of old vine Malbec planted in 1922, the wine shows notes of black plums, blueberry and graphite combined with fine layers of spice. Extremely complex and elegant acidity, with a great finish in mouth. This wine is bottled without filtering so it may contain natural sediments. These deposits do not affect the quality. We strongly recommend decanting this wine at least an hour before drinking." More at FincaAbril.com
