Vina Alicia Brote Negro Malbec 2006
1884
The 2006 Brote Negro is 100% Malbec but of a particular type that the winery believes is a mutation in their 100-year-old Malbec vineyard. These grapes are picked separately after the harvest of the regular Malbec. They are aged in 50% new French oak for 14-16 months. Opaque purple/black in color, it offers up a brooding bouquet of balsam wood, underbrush, lavender, black cherry, and blueberry compote. On the palate notes of licorice, raisins, cinnamon, and raspberry make an appearance. Dense and rich, this full-flavored, totally hedonistic wine is a contender for Argentina?s best Malbec.
