Altocedro Reserva Malbec 2008

Ripe and very well-focused, with a rock-solid core of weighty flavors that include blackberry, fig and raspberry ganache flavors layered with alluring cocoa powder, incense and mesquite notes.

On the palate the Chardonnay predominates with a sumptuous glossy texture with mandarin marmalade, toasted nuts, and a fantastic balance. Crisp acidity keeps it from getting cloying, but...
