  43yo Malbec
  Colour pale trawny with ruby hues , crystal clear brown edges , good colour for 43yo 15/15
  Nose tertiary aromas
  Oxygen produces nutty aromas in wine. This is why many wine enthusiasts detect tertiary aromas such as:
  Roasted Peanuts
  Roasted Almonds
  Walnuts
  Hazelnuts
  In this bottle roasted hazelnuts
  
  Tertiary Aromas in Wine: Oak
  In part, oak maturation of wine allows a slow introduction of oxygen into the wine. This develops the nutty aromas we mentioned above. However, oak also infuses wine with woody aromas. Tasters of oak-finished wine pick up tertiary aromas such as:
  Vanilla
  Clove
  Cinammon
  Molasses
  Allspice
  Cedar
  In this bottle Clove , allspice , cedar
