Description
Flechas de Los Andes means "arrows of the Andes", and this arrow is going straight for your heart. The mouth filling palate of this exquisite Argentinean Malbec blend can only result in one thing: love at first sip. Rated as an outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character, Flechas de Los Andes’ 2009 Gran Corte spent 17 months in new French oak. It is opaque purple-colored with legs that ooze down the glass. The aromatics are brooding, but expressive with notes of pain grille, spice box, lavender, black cherry, and plum. Opulent, with glossy fruit, this dense, rich effort conceals significant underlying structure. Brought to you by Michel Rolland, who, following 15 years as a consultant in Argentina, concluded that this was the country to produce "grand vin" outside of Europe.
