Blackberry, cherry, raspberry, currant, vanilla, mossy earth and hints of eucalyptus. Great structure and well-integrated tannins.

Fruity, and spicy. More Argentine malbec at this price point should be made this well. Lower ABV, baking spice, dark red fruits.

Deep magenta, briefly stains glass. Clear. Decant 30 minutes. Cherries, sweet blackberries and raspberries on nose, some chocolate/coffee. Soft and juicy, tastes of cherries, some black and red fruits, hint of vanilla and spice. Medium chocolaty finish. Medium to medium plus tannin, medium to medium high acid. Lush and silky, medium plus body. Cozy and well balanced.

Bright magenta color, violets, warm spices. Reminds me of Bierzo.

The nose brought me immediately back to craft time in kindergarten. Not exactly the repressed memories I want to unearth while drinking wine. New plastic was a great descriptor from the group. Flavor actually was pretty good and balanced but I couldn't get away from the nose.

Great basic Malbec. Providing bang for buck aromatically with grip of tannins but soft, pronounced fruit.
