Bonfanti ‘Joven’ Perdriel Malbec
The 2021 Familia Bonfanti Malbec is an immediate attention grabber. In the glass, you’ll discover the tender aromas of tea roses, along with nuances of fresh herbs, tobacco, and sandalwood. An unadulterated expression of Malbec, its three-month sojourn in stainless steel sans oak gifts it with a purity rarely seen. On the palate, sappy red currant and black raspberry, with the signature notes of Malbec coming to the forefront – earthy tobacco, leather, and the warmth of sandalwood. This mix of flavors is underscored by a robust minerality, while the lush bite of a ripe red plum graces the finish. The tannins are gentle, round, and sweet, making it incredibly approachable, especially with a slight chill.
