Wine Tasting Notes
Deep Violet. The bouquet of this wine is an intense dark fruit, with hints of coffee, dark chocolate and spice notes. Its flavor is well-balanced and elegant; well-integrated fruit, tannins and acidity; with a persistent, long finish.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2020 Malbec originates from a 1932 plot planted in Mainque, Rio Negro, and underwent a two-year aging process in barriques and 500-liter barrels. Due to the warm vintage, this Noemía showcases a distinct character compared to the 2021 vintage tasted alongside. With a purple hue, the fruitforward nose presents cherry and sweetbriar notes, accented by dried floral tones. Dry and relatively lean in comparison to other vintages, the 2020 offers good balance and a flavorful palate. The mouthfeel is a bit more onedimensional than usual, but it lingers long. Drinking Window 2025-2035.
