Chateau de Haute-Serre Malbec 2016

Wine Enthusiast 92
Full of black fruits, this wine has structure, density and concentration. At the same time, it shows restraint and even elegance, giving a poised statement of Malbec. Juicy acidity at the end adds freshness. Drink the wine from 2020. ~R.V.

Varietals:
Malbec (90), Merlot (7), Tannat (3)

Very dark color with carmine highlights and a wonderfully complex and powerful bouquet of morello cherry, blackcurrant, and spices. The freshness and fruitiness on the nose carry over beautifully to the palate, which has a long, silky aftertaste.
