Bodega Colome Ascencion Barrel Aged Malbec, Salta, Argentina 2007

Description

The 2007 Bodega Colome Ascencion Barrel Aged Malbec from Bodega Colomé in Salta is a mature high-altitude Malbec that reflects the intense sun and cool nights of the Andean vineyards. This wine was crafted with careful barrel aging to build structure and complexity early on.

After many years in bottle, a well stored example typically shows rich dried plum, black cherry, and berry fruit with savory notes of earth, leather, and spice. The high altitude character often gives lifted floral perfume and fresh acidity that help the wine remain balanced as the tannins soften with age. You may also find subtle hints of tobacco, smoke, and mineral nuance that add depth to the profile.
