Unfiltered, this is an austere red of nuance and depth. The nose is very much that of the region with fresh plum, violets and thyme. The potency is tempered by the aging process in favor of subtlety and the addition of whiffs of smoke, tobacco and cedar. Juicy in the mouth with a striking chalky feel, compact flow and mild character, it is a linear wine but maintains Malbec’s smooth, voluminous nature. An elegant interpretation of a region with character. - Joaquín Hidalgo\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (November 2021), 94 pts\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949112061999,"sku":"AR0EE881290MBL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/aynimalbec_ec264bc8-2c61-4c9f-b804-193c13056ac9.jpg?v=1771489207","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/ayni-malbec-paraje-altamira-2019","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
