A very different beast from Cahors let alone Mendoza, this Loire Malbec is superb. Subdued, chalky, smoky, and spicy. Drunk and enjoyed greatly with steak.

Tasted 4 months ago and was hard and unforgiving. Starting to open a little. Fantastic nose, chalk and lavender with some nice fruit behind it. Still needs time or a lengthy decant, but this is gonna be awesome

Intriguing old world food wine that expresses characteristics of its Loire Valley terroir more than varietal typicity - floral, mineral, and savory.

Color violáceo, capa y densidad baja, en nariz anisete, ciruela negra, notas muy herbáceas, gran nariz. En boca ágil, equilibrado y con buen secante... Agradable.
