Ripe blackberries, spice, musk, smoke, vanilla. Buttery mouthfeel. Tannins and Acidity to match. Decent drinking. Carafe it though. Solid with red meats.

A decent, affordable go-to for steak. Opened up over the course of flank steak and top sirloin dinner.

I was in a spicy mood and boy did this wine deliver! I am sitting with kindred spirits, burning memories like the embers of a die cast horse shoe in my flower-soul. It makes me feel like a leader of warmth.

A nice table Malbec. Easy to drink. A little acidic or tannic like a Malbec would be. No overly distinct flavored for my untrained younger to speak of, but an easy drink. Had at a restaurant for $47, which made it less enjoyable, but at $13 this is a nice buy. Not overly impressive, but nice.

Dark fruits and spices. A great Malbec in terms of QPR. Recommend.
