Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Pulenta number their wines rather than name them, and X is the flagship Malbec — from old vines in Luján de Cuyo, the traditional heart of Mendoza Malbec, where the alluvial soils and 900-metre elevation give more structure and less exuberance than the higher Uco Valley. Blackberry and dark plum with violet, mocha, dark chocolate and a graphite edge. Full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannin and a long finish, from extended French oak. Serious and built to age rather than made for immediate charm.
