"The 2006 Clos des Andes is 100% Malbec sourced from an 80-year-old vineyard in Lujan de Cuyo and aged for 12 months in 50% new French oak. Dark ruby/purple in color, it offers up an alluring bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, spice box, and black cherry. This leads to a wine with excellent density, layered fruit, and spicy black fruit flavors nicely concealing enough structure for 2-3 years of further development. This rich, well-balanced effort . . . . Bodega Poesia is owned by Bordeaux proprietors HĂ©lĂšne Garcin and Patrice LĂ©vĂȘque [of ChĂąteaux Barde-Haut, Clos L'Ăglise, and Poesia], with LĂ©vĂȘque doubling as winemaker with consultation from Dr. Alain Raynaud."

Yields dark, plush reds with ripe black fruit and soft tannins. A traditional Bordeaux blender, it found its greatest fame in Argentina.
