Smells like candy. Cherry taffy or something. Flavors are also candy. Sweet on the tongue. Juicy. But not tart. Not deep. Not chewy. Just candied. Cheap, boring, mass produced plonk on the same spectrum as all those shifty Malbecs they make in Argentina.

A little lighter, not as robust for the usual Malbecs I love, but still a good flavor

Good daily wine. Oaky notes with rich flavor and balanced tannin.

Drink with any hearty red meat!
Gaucho was not kidding, very dominant!
Hints of black berry and other fruit I can't put my finger on... Black pepper hints and a bitter after taste. Not bad for its price 😊

Sweet on the nose but the aftertaste was acidic like the bottom of a sour skittles sugar packet. Not bad but not entirely pleasant.

Fruity, hint of sweetness, very little bitterness and pepper. Almost boring, very drinkable.
