Spiced baby seal tears and angry huckleberries with an afterthought of bad decisions.

2013. Very drinkable. Pleasant finish but slightly chalky.

Decanted for over an hour to open up. Slightly smoky nose. Plum, not too complex, very fruity, weak finish

Barrel aging makes the oak/smoke quite assertive in this #malbec . Smoky aroma with dark coffee and tobacco. More acidity than your typical Malbec - might be great with a charred steak but I didn't enjoy as much as other Ascencion Malbecs.
