Virtually undrinkable. Horribly over extracted and over oaked.

Differemt label in BA, i think, full bodied w a bottle built like a house. Over 20$ there so thats price for qualidad. For me the problem here is a blandness & minerality in background-though w caveat that this was put in freezer briefly, which may have stunned the wine

Fantastic malbec. Deep red/purple tones. A bit too oaky for my taste. Leather, tobacco, grilled peppers, actual pepper, maybe even a hint of smoke. Balanced tannins, long finish.
