Yacochuya 2008 – Cafayate, Salta – Argentina

(100% Malbec) The nose is fruity, concentrated, fresh and finely gourmand. It reveals notes of crushed cassis crushed, crushed strawberry and licorice associated with discreet notes of dried berries, red fruits, chocolate as well as slight notes of cardamom and an imperceptible hint of truffle. The palate is fruity, mineral, elegant, quite gourmand and offers fluidity, a good volume, a good definition, a good structure, an acid frame as well as a nice and silky matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry jam and cassis combined with fine notes of fleshy Gariguette strawberry, licorice, toasted oak, discreet notes of caramelization as well as a hint of cardamom and black tea. Tannins are fine and well-built. Good length.
