Rated 91
The 2020 Old Vine Malbec Swinto comes from Perdriel and was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Oak clearly defines the profile, opening with a hint of brett, subtle fruit and dominant barrel notes. Deep in flavor and firmly ripe in style, it delivers oak-driven intensity, a clingy palate feel and dark fruit on the finish. This is a mature, classically oaked Malbec with a structured, wellresolved close. Drinking Window 2026-2034.
