Trying it again. Different vintage. Cool tree on the label. Nice red wine color. Pretty in the glass. Smells like cut wood and rocks. Not fruit. Made a bit of incense too. Flavors are dry and dense. Herbal. Streak of berries. Like blackberry sauce in ice cream. Plenty of ink or elderberry stuff too. This is quite the difference from the Arg Malbec style. A hint of that coyote brush in the sun thing that I associate with southern France. Certainly a go to Malbec for my Malbec hater-ass.

Apr 8th, 2022Aroma is fruity and jammy. A bit of wine barrel and rocky root cellar. Flavor is dry and luscious if a bit thin. Nice floral rose hip and hibiscus flavor in the mouth. Bit of ink and tannin to finish. Has that bitter French thing for sure. Nice unusual red. Might open up with some air to be more dynamic.
