Something in it tastes of vanilla, primarily a dark, fruity flavor, technically a red blend but 50% Malbec and it's definitely one of the better Malbecs, because it's a blend it's not too sweet, almost chocolatey — 9 years ago

7.0

Bitter taste, slightly fruity, not one of my favorites, could have been influenced by our dinner choice (fettuccine alfredo), Laura noticed a hint of blackberries, somewhat better on the second taste but ultimately we chose not to finish the bottle — 9 years ago
