Tapiz Black Tears Malbec 2019

A serious malbec showing tarry blackberries, graphite, violet extracts and a wide array of grilled herbs. Thyme, rosemary, iodine and hot stones. The full and intense palate delivers impressive concentration of blackberries and black chocolate. Caressing tannins are really silky but plentiful. Solid and quite long. Drink or hold [into the mid-2030s]. Score - 95.
