I was surprised by taste of this Malbec - it was great in my opinion. Cherry dominates in aroma and taste. Great as apperitive.

2014 vintage. Deep garnet. Light and fruity, short finish, dry. Claret-like. Brought down by significant cork contamination which was foreshadowed in the aroma. Oddly, the cork was intact and showed no degradation.
