Ok. A bit tangy, acidic for my expectations on a malbec. Spice did not come through, was hoping for more from a 2015. Would Not buy again for $16.

smells of inner tub baking in sun, new car smell, very ripe plum, blackberry, a little charred wood....the palate is light with chewy tannins....strawberry, cranberry, wood, rhubarb and savory dried herbs. very pleasant.

Tighter and more flint than I expected from a Malbec, but very good
