Filus Reserve Malbec, Perdriel, Argentina

點擊次數(shù)：4265

Purple/black; expressive nose of exotic spices, incense, and black fruits; easygoing and forward.

Oaky up front, with more than a dash of mocha, caramel and sweet berry fruit aromas. The palate is zesty and honest, with juicy, bright black cherry and berry flavors. Finishes toasty and perky, with one last shot of firm acidity to keep it running long and late. ——M.S.(3/1/2011)—— 88

The 2007 Malbec Reserva was also fermented with native yeasts and aged for 12 months in seasoned French barriques. It exhibits an enticing nose of cedar, black cherry, black raspberry, plum, and incense. Plush on the palate, it has layered flavors, plenty of spicy, savory notes, enough ripe tannin to support 1-2 years of additional cellaring, and a fruit-filled finish.The Filus (meaning “friendship”) brand was started in 2005 and currently produces 200,000 cases of which 60% go to the USA. Alberto Antonini has been the winemaking consultant since the inception of the project.Importer: Classic Wine of California, Ceres, CA; tel. (209) 538-3131
