ELODIA MALBEC VALLE DE UCO SINGLE VINEYARD EL MANZANO ESTATE 2020
Tuesday, May 3, 2022
Country: Argentina
Region: Mendoza
Vintage: 2020
Score: 94
A powerful, concentrated Malbec showing violet extract, dense blackberries, wet stones and oyster sauce. A hint of dried fruit, too. Full-bodied and dense palate with fine-grained tannins. Long and flavorful. Give it 2 years to settle. Drink from 2024.
