14.2% alc.
Dark as midnight. Juicy spicy in-your-face fruit (almost Petit Verdot-ish) and nice chewy tannins.
Will it age well?

Happy World Malbec day! This was one of two bottles of Malbec on my rack - not my go to varietal. Beautiful purple fruit with a long finish.

Very nice, but it tasted more like a Cabernet than a Malbec to me. Blueberry, vanilla, and a hint of milk chocolate.

Full body, mildly dry, smooth and soft. Plums and blueberries on palate. Lovely!

Great purple color. Leather and oak nose. Full body, dry, nice tannins. Nice complex dark fruit. Approachable now, should age well.

Delicious. Gorgeous bouquet. Smokey with lots of currents, dark cherries, and hints of tobacco and leather. Drinking exceptionally well now.
