Limited Edition Mendoza Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Pascual Toso – Malbec Limited Edition 2014
Mendoza, Argentina 🇦🇷
Overview:
A rare Limited Edition Malbec from Pascual Toso, one of Mendoza’s oldest and most respected wineries (founded in 1890). The vines grow in the heart of a natural canyon carved by an ancient river stream, fed by snowmelt from the Andes Mountains. This unique terroir adds intensity, freshness, and a striking mineral backbone to the wine.
Aromas & Flavors:
The bouquet opens with deep layers of ripe blackberries, plums, and black cherries, woven with cocoa, violets, and subtle tobacco leaf. On the palate, the fruit is concentrated yet refined, laced with graphite, vanilla, and a faint savory spice.
Mouthfeel:
Silky and waxy in texture, yet powerfully structured. Tannins are polished and integrated, giving a sense of elegance within its robust frame. The finish is long, lingering with dark fruit, earth, and a whisper of Andes minerality.
Winemaking Notes:
Only made in exceptional vintages, this Malbec undergoes extended maceration and aging in new French oak barrels, amplifying its depth and age-worthiness. At nearly a decade in bottle, the 2014 vintage is showing a beautiful balance between fruit richness and tertiary development.
Food Pairing:
An outstanding match for grilled ribeye, slow-braised short ribs, or lamb chops with rosemary. Also excellent with aged cheeses or earthy mushroom dishes.
Verdict:
A powerful yet elegant Mendoza Malbec, shaped by the drama of its canyon terroir. The silky, waxy texture stands out, making it not just bold but also sophisticated. Truly a wine for collectors and connoisseurs—drink now or cellar further to enjoy its evolution.
Personal Pick Highlight:
For me, this 2014 Limited Edition stood out as one of the most memorable Mendoza Malbecs I’ve had in recent years. The combination of silkiness and power felt like a perfect snapshot of the region’s soul. A bottle I’d happily revisit again and again. Cheers!
