Matias Riccitelli, Malbec Viejos Vinedos En Pie Franco 2018

Critical Acclaim: 93 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. 

Tasting Notes: The traditional and juicy 2018 Viñas Viejas En Pie Franco Malbec was produced with grapes from old, ungrafted Malbec vines from different places within Mendoza and therefore planted on different soils, clay, rocks and limestone. This felt quite traditional, with good ripeness but keeping its poise and balance, with oak that is present but not invasive. The palate is medium to full-bodied and portrayed the varietal tannins that tend to be quite soft and fine grained.

Varietal: Malbec.
