Aged 12 months in French oak, it possesses a softer style than the Cabernet Sauvignon with more minerality as well as lots of blackberry, white chocolate, incense and graphite characteristics. Deep ruby\/purple-hued, rich and full-bodied, it is a full-throttle, stunning Malbec to drink over the next 4-5 years.Maipe is one of my favorite value selections from Fran Kysela as the wines are exceptionally well-made, and sell for a song.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #208, August 2013)\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e 91 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maipe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948774617135,"sku":"AR0EE881147MBL","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/maipemalbecreserve.jpg?v=1771483479","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/maipe-malbec-reserve-2012","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
