Really fun. Dark fruits, rustic earth, hint of meaty spice. For the price, I’m sold. Food? Yes please!

Black currant aromas with a little something else... not quite earthiness, not quite baking spice... I'm going with smooth black wet rocks (probably influenced by reading the label note that "du Caillau" means "pebbles". Round yet light and fruity on the palate with ripe blackberries and some spices.

Had this at The Cru Wine Bar in the Woodlands as part of a flight. This was my favorite of the three.

Less fruit, more herbs and minerals in the nose. Lots of tannins, overall earthy and rustic. Online Malbec Class 5/28 #gotm2020

Blackberry and spice, earthy funk. Tastes medieval in a food way. Medium-bodied, long finish.
