Not getting a ton on the nose. Maybe some slight lemon and white flowers.

Good fruit flavor but also overpowering acidity.

Lemons, citrus, slight stone fruit but not a ton.

Good. Feel like because there’s no to little malo, the natural acid stays top. — 2 days ago

This was the reasonably priced bottle at our restaurant and I like Malbec so… it has a typical Malbec nose late season boysenberry and sweet leathery notes but quite light and refreshing on the palate. I love the finish! Pairs perfectly with the spicy tuna! Still sort of one dimensional yet easy to drink — a month ago

Well, glad I kept this for another 6 years to see how it evolved. Cork was in amazing shape. Brick red. Almost tawny in glass. Dried flowers and herbs on the nose. Not a lot of fruit on the nose. Palate is more dried flowers, roses, leather, the faintest touch of pouch tobacco, plums, dried fig, maybe persimmon. It dries the mouth with tannin and acidity. Definitely secondary flavors starting. Probably the best wine deal I’ve ever had for this type of quality. Wish I had one more to try in 2028. — 4 months ago

Deep ruby in color; blackberries, cassis, and graphite on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like black plums, black cherries, and eucalyptus with a long finish. Nellie likes this wine, and I do, too. — 14 days ago

Ruby color, purple edges, with pronounced aromas of red fruits, floral, herbs and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry, ripe plum and black cherry with orange citrus, herbs, vanilla and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with fruit, vanilla, floral, spice and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age!

Full bodied, but a total fruit bomb. Smooth, rich and slightly velvety. Lots of tannins, finishes bolder. — 10 days ago
