Even if 2017 and 2018 were both warmer years after the very cold 2016, the difference in ripeness was quite obvious when tasting the 2017 BenMarco Expresivo next to other 2018s, as 2017 was low yielding and there was more natural concentration in the wines. It's a ripe and expressive (pun intended) blend of 80% Malbec with 20% Cabernet Franc from Gualtallary produced in a traditional way and with an élevage in new barriques for 14 months, despite which, the oak feels quite integrated, as the wine has a lot of power and energy. The medium-bodied palate reveals abundant dusty tannins and some herbs, with flower, berry and spicy flavors. 22,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2018.
