We like this bottle. A pretty sound example of Malbec with a sound body through the finish. We will try it again to refine our appraisal. Good value for sure.

Stunning Malbec at its price point. I thought it cost $30 blind. Very fruit forward and rich for entry level Malbec that doesn't take like magic marker.

Ok, but fruit is tasting a little cooked, & a little hot.

Young, round, fresh and fruity Malbec from Argentina ... marked notes of fresh black fruit and sweet spices. Discreet aging to put the fruit in the spotlight. A beautiful early wine.

Chocolate, cherry, spices and somehow iron. The palate is well balanced with loads of acidity and a bright fruit on the sides. Some dusty tannins which lay some powder like sensation in mid palate. Reasonably long finish with fruits and this powdery sensation too. Good not great. I was expecting more concentration.

Plummy, jammy in a restrained way, & dry. My favorite Malbec so far.
