This is Malbec that leads with feeling first and lets the structure catch up later. El Corazon Manda translates to “the heart decides,” and the 2023 vintage leans fully into that idea. It opens generous and expressive, with ripe blackberry and plum, a hint of violet, and a soft dusting of spice that feels more inviting than intense. Nothing stiff. Nothing forced. Just warmth and ease from the first sip. On the palate, it is lush and smooth, with a velvety texture that makes it immediately comfortable. The fruit is ripe but well judged, balanced by a subtle savory note and gentle tannins that keep everything moving rather than weighing it down. It feels sun-kissed without being heavy, confident without trying to impress. This is a bottle made for real life. Weeknight dinners that turn into something better. Grilled food, shared plates, music playing a little louder than planned. Approachable, expressive, and deeply satisfying, it is Malbec that follows its instincts and gets it right.
