Bright berry aromas dominate in this light bodied red

It’s medium-bodied

while this delivers high-quality berry and plum flavors that are familiar to fans of Argentine Malbec

jammy character that is comfortably filled out with generous tannins

Tardieu-Laurent Hermitage, Rhone, France 2020 Minervois pencil leadGood sense of weight, volume and depth here. The acidity is marked and nicely integrated, as is the alcohol and the oak for that matter a harmonious, though certainly a sizeable and mighty wine. Concentrated, intense and long, with a good sense of firmness and intensity, the tannins are plentiful but all saturated in fruit. 96 Pts Decanter
