Very light and slightly sweet for a Malbec, but the earthy, slightly acidic profile of a Malbec is all there. Unripe cherry, modest spice, a little hint of bitter chocolate.

Strong fruity notes of dark berries and currants with a hint of black pepper and some earthiness to boot. Medium body and medium-high acid. Solid alone or with food.

Not my cup of tea. Too dry. First sip the after taste was mildly fruity. That didn't carry over to the second or succeeding sips.
