Bodega Poesia Clos Des Andes Malbec 2016 2016

Bright ruby-red. Black fruits and licorice on the nose; a bit inkier and less expressive than the basic Clos des Andes. Then denser and deeper but less pliant in the mouth, with sneaky sweetness nonetheless, as well as a strong impression of minerality.

Boasts more energy, definition and structure than the basic cuvee and will require longer to open. There's less easy sweetness here but the tannins are suave and the finishing flavors mount impressively.
