The 2019 Malbec Luigi Bosca De Sangre is a blend of grapes from Villa Seca and Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley and spent 12 months in barrels. An intense purple in the glass, the nose offers notes of fresh plum and thyme with hints of violets and mint over a gentle bed of oak. Broad and terse in the mouth, agility is brought by the juicy but mild freshness which also enhances the wood and fruit flavors at the back of the throat.

#87 ENTHUSIAST 100 2022. Rosemary and cinnamon notes are followed by concentrated plum and black cherry on the nose. This fruit-forward wine has moderate complexity delivering juicy black-fruit and baking-spice flavors. Slightly rough tannins and fresh acidity provide a good structure.

The dark, juicy, concentrated and balsamic 2016 Malbec D O C is one of the few proper Controlled Appellation wines (D.O.C.) from Luján de Cuyo. It matured for 14 months in new French oak barrels, which marked the wine, especially on the palate where you'll find an abundance of oak-related flavors and some astringent tannins, giving it a slight rusticity. It needs food. 210,000 bottles produced.
