The Limestone Block Malbec from Tinto Negro shines in a dark ruby red in the glass. The bouquet is intense with aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, sweet cherries and vanilla. This impression is accompanied by mineral and floral nuances. On the palate this Argentine red wine is wonderfully spicy and refreshing with notes of red berries. The tannins are perfectly integrated into the strong body and very balanced. The elegant finish underlines the fruity, concentrated personality of this red wine.
