This concentrated blend of Malbec with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Syrah will impress you as much as it's new neck-tag label.
President Juan Peron and his wife Evita were fond of one of Escorihuela's red blends in the 1940s, this wine pays homage to that era with its broad and powerful characteristics - aromas of smoke and bittersweet chocolate, rich black fruit and a savoury core of green olives, roasted herbs and grilled meat. A dense palate with a lot of depth, layering black fruit, espresso and dark cocoa with plenty of spice. The texture is powdery, almost granular, the tannins are chewy and the finish lingers with flavours of toasted oak.
A brawny wine that will benefit from cellar time.
A wine made for Asado (Argentine barbecue).
