Susana Balbo Virtuoso Late Harvest Malbec, 2007

From arid Mendoza, Argentina, Late harvest-style wines are incredibly rare due to the lack of moisture at harvest time - red dessert wines are almost unheard of. Susana Balbo has created a sweet, super-ripe Malbec dessert wine that is both incredibly balanced and totally seductive.
It is velvety with bursting fruits of ripe black cherry and plum flavors, violets and a hint of spice. This had a long and beautiful finish. Given the milder sweetness (in comparison to other dessert wines) and lower alcohol content this would pair well with fine dark chocolate. Yum!
Sláinte!
