Finca Decero wines were the best wines for the money I tasted on our trip so far. The gorgeous body, sensuous fruits, elegance, great natural acidity and beautifully polished finishes for the price are just plain ridiculous.

On the nose; warm, ripe ruby dark currants/cassis. Huge blueberries, blackberries, black plum, black raspberries, anise, rich, moist dark soil and bright lavender & violets.

On the palate, the body is rich & full. The tannins are very round and silky. The fruits are, ripe, ruby and lush; blueberries, blackberries, black plum, black raspberries, creamy raspberries haunt as it opens up. Core of anise, black licorice, sweet tarry notes, rich, moist dark soil, dry top soil and bright lavender & violets. The structure, length, tension & balance are the very definition of harmony. The acidity round and beautiful. The rich, ripe, lush, elegant finish is incredibly beautiful.

Medium ruby hue. Aromas of cherry, earthy, oak, pepper, plum, raspberry, and tar. Medium body, with medium tannins and medium acidity. Palate is full of herbs and bright, red fruit, with a spiciness up front that finishes smoothly.

Well made Malbec or Cot. Deliciously rich & layered. Brambleberry, sanguine, a little chalk, toast for the most. & The best part a consistent producer to boot!

Straight forward well done Malbec from a consistent knowledgeable institution, that really hasn't been around for that long. Will buy this again & seek other varietals from this producer. Sante'!

Very nicely realized Malbec. Black cherry and raspberry notes up front with a hint of pine. Tannins fill in pleasantly through the middle and finish. Very nicely balanced, not too sweet with a clean finish. I can’t remember having a better Malbec. Could still sit a while.
