Note di degustazione
(from 13-year-old vines; 15% alcohol): Saturated ruby. Blackberry, black cherry, licorice pastille, mocha and dark chocolate on the oaky nose Tight, high-pitched and intense, with almost peppery acidity giving a penetrating quality to the black fruit flavors. This wine has good creamy depth but will need several years of aging for its serious tannic structure to begin to yield. The long finish displays a slightly candied quality. All three of these single-vineyard malbecs spent 18 months in new French barriques .

The 2008 Malbec Single Vineyard Vina Federico Villafane also spent 18 months in new French oak. It is purple/black in color with an already complex nose of spicy black fruits, earth notes, and floral aromas. In the glass it reveals slightly more depth and concentration than the Cristina y Bibiana cuvee as well as splendid balance, volume, and length. Give it 5-6 years of cellaring and drink it from 2016 to 2028. Importer: Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700
