On the nose, ripe, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, blue fruits, touch of pyrazines, black raspberry cola, black licorice, saddle-wood, dark rich soils, well done toast, light baking spices, loamy soil with dry crushed rock powder with blue & purple flowers.

On the palate, the body is medium. The tannins are lighter, softer and powdery. Ripe: blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries & blue fruits, Touch of pyrazines, black raspberry cola,black licorice, saddle-wood, dark rich soils, light baking spices, loamy soil with dry crushed rock powder with blue & purple flowers. The acidity is good. the finish is fruity with nice balance.

60% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot. French barrels for 18 months. Deep red color. Smoke on the nose. Flavor is earthy and oaky, as well as some fruit. Good tannins. Medium to full bodied. Creamy with a vanilla ending. Delicious.

Worth decanting. Excellent blend of Merlot, Cab Sauvignon and Malbec. Get over the dry corks and filter, the wine is absolutely delicious.
