Not something I would recommend. Came across this as I was entering all my cellar into cellartracker. Maybe I don't know what to expect from Malbec? Dark color, can't place the nose, primary grape flavor, no complexity. Nicest thing I can say is the bottle is heavy!
Lowest I have scored a wine, moving on to a backup

Took FOREVER to properly open up, but once it did, it was really enjoyable. Not nearly as fruit forward as most Malbecs, but it did have pleasant notes of blackberries and currants, along with strong elements of smoke and minerality. 92+
