N - Refined, Smokey blackcurrant & black cherry fruit, graphite, coal, decaying violets, warm, stoney soil, blood and sweet meats. Beautiful.
P - Wonderfully refined, buffered cocoa powder tannins, refreshing black fruit. Fucking delicious.

My first 100% Malbec. Very balanced, all elements present but rounded and in great harmony. The tannins very present too but extremely polite and well educated and gracious. I'd take this anytime over any run-of-the-mill Bordeaux.

Meaty, juicy, refreshing acidity. Round tannins. Very Malbec, but not too rustic.

Dark in color, dark fruits, grippy tannins. The main point though is that with a group of 10 chaps eager to get stuck in, this is the wine that the group gravitated towards with gusto.

Blueberry bliss. Toasty oak, beautiful blue fruit and earthy mushroomy flair on the nose. Lingering tannins and fresh acidity makes this wine very fun and lively. Great wine a plethora of cuisine
