Ever since we had the 2005 Linda Flor Malbec, we were under its spell. But, as they say: in vino veritas - in wine, there is truth. The Linda Flor 2017 broke the spell. For us, it did not hold the promise for a potential repeat of the experience of the 2005. There was a green note on the finish and I don’t think the dark fruit underneath the tight but polished fine grained tannins seemed concentrated enough to break through the oak vice grip. Life, wine…. It’s a journey.
