Domaines Barons de Rothschild Malbec (Aruma) 2017

This Argentine Malbec is an exceptionally rich and impressive wine. It brings together small batches of wine from tiny parcels of premium grapes to create an intricate and complex blend. In doing so it symbolises the union between its co-creators – ‘Decanter Man of the Year’ Nicolás Catena, whose wines are “beacons for quality in Argentina” (Steven Spurrier), and the Rothschilds of Bordeaux, “synonymous with wealth, prestige, history, respect and remarkable wines” (Robert Parker). Hand harvested, high grown, old vine grapes provide the wine’s outstanding fruit quality. Barrel ageing ensures seamless integration of flavours, spicy complexity and fabulously smooth tannins. Decant and serve with a tender rib-eye steak, game or herby casserole.
