Bodegas De Los Clop Paraje Altamira Reserva Malbec 2017

Bodegas De Los Clop Paraje Altamira Reserva Malbec 2017 is an elegant, highly expressive Argentine red wine crafted from high-altitude vineyards in the prestigious Paraje Altamira appellation of the Uco Valley. It displays a deep purple color with vibrant ruby hues in the glass. The inviting aromatic bouquet offers concentrated notes of plum jam, ripe cassis, and fresh black cherry, gracefully interwoven with sophisticated nuances of clove, sweet vanilla, leather, and dark chocolate derived from careful oak aging. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, impeccably balanced, and well-structured. A rich core of dark fruit is beautifully supported by sweet, rounded tannins and a lively natural acidity, culminating in an elegant, remarkably persistent finish.

Food Pairing:

Pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye steak, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, rich beef stews, savory beef empanadas, and mature hard cheeses.

91 Points - James Suckling

Deep nose of blackberries, ground cocoa powder and sweet spices. Spicy palate with round, juicy fruit and fine-grained tannin. Strong, oaky finish. Drink now or hold.
