The 2005 Ofincado Malbec is sourced from a single vineyard planted in 1929. The wine’s class is revealed in its complex perfume of spice box, mineral, black cherry and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a layered, succulent, velvety-textured Malbec which, despite its size, retains elegance. This age-worthy wine has 4-6 years of aging potential and should offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2025. Terrazas de los Andes exports 70% of its production with the USA being the number one market.Importer: Moet-Hennessey USA; www.mhusa.com

Rather flashy, with lots of plum sauce, melted licorice and fig bread flavors laid over notes of cocoa, tar and espresso. Yet the long, juicy finish keeps this all together, with a graphite edge adding length and grip. Drink now through 2010. 800 cases imported.??–JM??Region: Argentina / Mendoza Select to Add
