Virtually undrinkable. Horribly over extracted and over oaked.

Differemt label in BA, i think, full bodied w a bottle built like a house. Over 20$ there so thats price for qualidad. For me the problem here is a blandness & minerality in background-though w caveat that this was put in freezer briefly, which may have stunned the wine

Dank and dense. Decanted for 6 hours and it finally started to open up. Plum, cassis, and the inky black darkness of modern American existential crisis...🙃🙃🙃 It was great!

Excellent bold Malbec with hints of vanilla, spice, and apricots.
