The 2014 Luca Malbec soars with profound and intense aromatics and flavors, while maintaining a striking minerality. The wine has gorgeous aromatics of smoke, violets, milk chocolate and blackberry cobbler. There are rich flavors of mint, black cherry, black olive, and suggestions of violets with dark chocolate shavings. The saline streak and persistent finish accentuate this gorgeous bottling. Althought accessible now, this Malbec will cellar well into the next decade. (Best 2017-2026) - March, 2017 (OB)
