Nice wine, almost like a NZ Pinot Noir but with an Italian character and better acidity and tannins. A bit funky and earthy on the nose, the flint and iodine character is strong with accents of red fruit on the finish.

"This exceptional cuvee is selected from a unique parcel (0.4 ha) on the land of the Métairie Grande du Théron estate (35 ha), on the slope of a clay-limestone hill, the Lot’s 3rd terrace. The very best soil of this plot of land is made of: 25 cm of clay rich in silica and of 90 cm of limestone “alterite”, featuring the pure expression of Malbec."
Quite a robust, full bodied 100% malbec. Has the juicy fullness of the clay terroir, strong alcohol that goes away with breathing, and a short-med finish. A good food wine, black plums and raspberries. Some oakiness on the finish.
Only 2000 bottles made.
I kinda wish I had some American bbq pork belly and beef brisket around right now so I could eat it with this...
