Bodega Vistalba Corte B Rare Red Blend

(60% malbec and 20% each bonarda and cabernet sauvignon; 15+% alcohol): good bright saturated ruby. Superripe aromas of blackberry cassis graphite menthol and spicy chocolatey oak. Rich broad and sweet with lovely dark berry intensity and floral lift. Harmonious acidity contributes to the impression of energy and extends the wine’s fruit. Finishes spicy and fine-grained with firm tannins reaching the front teeth. This has the spine to evolve slowly and positively in bottle. – stephen tanzer international wine cellar
