2019 Gran Llama Malbec Belasco

The 2019 Belasco de Baquedano Gran Llama Malbec (often referred to as the "Limited Edition" or "Thames Old Vineyard") is a premium step up from the winery’s widely known standard "Llama" label. Crafted from centenarian vines in the Alto Agrelo region of Mendoza, Argentina, this vintage is celebrated for its deep concentration and structure.

This wine is a full-bodied red characterized by its "Old Vine" intensity.

• Aromas: A complex bouquet of dark berries (blackberry, elderberry), licorice, and prunes, accented by spicy black pepper and toasty oak from its aging process.
• Palate: It is dense and rich with flavors of ripe plums and cherries. Reviewers often note a "chewy" texture with firm, well-integrated tannins and a persistent, persistent finish.
