From Los Arboles and Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley, the 2020 Malbec Salentein Reserva spent 12 months aging in 70% French and 30% American barrels. The perfumed nose offers hints of violet, aguaribay, plum and pencil box. It's juicy on the palate with a terse texture. Grippy tannins lay down an outline enhanced by the well-judged freshness which also keeps the finish going. An intense wine.
