From the Jake Vine's Boutique
Susana Balbo Nosotros Malbec 2020
Selected with intention
The 2020 Susana Balbo Nosotros Malbec is the pinnacle of this pioneering Argentinian winemaker's portfolio, a single-vineyard expression crafted from select parcels in Gualtallary, Uco Valley. 'Nosotros' (meaning 'us') embodies the family's winemaking legacy. The 2020 vintage promises a wine of impressive concentration and complexity. The nose is intensely aromatic, offering a captivating blend of black fruits, violet, and dark chocolate, layered with notes of exotic spices, tobacco, and a distinctive minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied and remarkably polished, with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides freshness. The fruit is pure and concentrated, leading to an exceptionally long, nuanced finish. A Malbec built for the long haul, showcasing Mendoza's finest terroir.
