Familia Falasco - Hermandad Malbec

Malbec from Argentina.
 
Ruby and purple in colour.  The nose tells us that this a malbec of true quality, it wafts of plum and lush dark cherry with hints of chocolate and distant smoke, these flavours continue into the mouth, complemented by a touch of vanilla, due to the French oak barrels it has aged in.
 
This wine is intense but elegant, smooth and well balanced.  It's velvety, perfectly in sync with the tannins.
 
Whilst this goes well with lean meats we've enjoyed a glass of this wine with crackers laden with a mature English cheddar cheese.
