NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château St. Jean Reserve Malbec has a deep, ruby-red color with hints of violet.On the nose, the aromas of blackberry, raspberry, and plum are complemented by subtle notes of black pepper and cloves. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, it offers richness and complexity, balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is lingering and elegant, with ripe dark fruits and hints of chocolate and tobacco.
