Anko Cardon Flower Malbec 2018

Score: 91 Tim Atkin

Estancia Los Cardones is located at more than 1,600 meters above sea level, at the top of the eastern slope of the Calchaquíes Valley. For the Flor de Cardón Malbec we select those lots in the vineyards with the highest content of surface stones, a profile that makes for much lower yields with an exceptional concentration of fruit. These stony sectors also impart a mineral texture to the wine, plus a structure of fine-grained tannins.
