Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour.
Founded in 2009 by Matias Riccitelli, Riccitelli Wines is located in Las Compuertas, at approximately 1,100 meters above sea level in the Argentine wine region of Mendoza. The Viñas Extremas line of wines is the purest expression of Matias' vision, which pays homage to the uniqueness of the estate vineyards and Argentine terroirs.
The Malbec grapes come from the Los Chacayes region, 1,500 meters above sea level. Here, the vines are rooted in unique limestone soils. The soils, the altitude, and the cool climate create ideal conditions for the full expression of Malbec and the production of a complex and balanced wine. After manual harvesting and spontaneous fermentation at a controlled temperature in small concrete tanks, the finished wine ages in French oak barrels for 16 months.
Vinas Extremas Los Chacayes Malbec is a powerful and expressive wine. On the nose, it reveals a complex aromatic profile with typical notes of dark fruit and forest floor, followed by mineral hints, mint, and aniseed aromas. On the palate, it is rich, broad, and juicy. It has a refreshing and well-balanced acidity and smooth tannins. The finish is long and persistent. Leave it in the cellar for a few years or, if you can’t wait, enjoy it with grilled red meat.

Matias Riccitelli Vinas Extremas Los Chacayes Malbec 2019
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
