The 2022 Malbec La Posta Paulucci, from Ugarteche, Luján de Cuyo, was 50% aged in oak barrels (15% new). Purple in color, the fruit-forward nose features plums and violets, along with a vanilla-oak layer. Dry, rich and supple, the tannin-less mouthfeel provides a lovely texture. This is a sapid and velvety Luján de Cuyo red.

Spiced cherries, blueberries, coffee and a hint of hazelnuts. Fluid and crunchy on the medium-bodied palate with firm, gritty tannins followed by a medium-length finish. Fresh, light and elegant, but nicely drinkable. Drink now.
