Nothing like any other Malbec I've tasted. Less fruity than a Mendoza Malbec. Very drinkable. But nothing really challenging about this wine. Pepper and plums in the bouquet. Similar to the taste profile of a Merlot once it breathes. Forgot to add that I think this was the 2012 vintage, drunk at the end of 2016.
