Finest Black Special Grand Cru Hüppen (60% cocoa) combined with a bottle of MALO (Mendoza, Argentina) from the Argentinian winery Ojo de Agua of Yello star Dieter Meier.
TOO GOOD TO BE BAD - Voluminous body, complexity and elegance, with a mysteriously demonic attitude. Dieter Meier's Malo is a Gran Cuvée made from 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Malbec and belongs to the crème de la crème of his wines. Only the best grapes from the top plots are selected for this red wine. They are then fermented for seven weeks in French oak barrels. The barrels are manually rolled five times a day to ensure optimum extraction of the grape skins. After fermentation, the wine is pressed and returned to the barrels for 18 months.
Wine character:
Rich, impenetrable dark red. Complex and profound aroma, violet flowers, cedar wood, prunes, tobacco. Very full-bodied and rich on the palate, fine-grained tannins, beautiful, juicy extract with bite, mineral, compact and built from a single mold. Great wine with plenty of ageing potential!
