Dark, earthy, raspberries, dark cherry. Rather acidic. Best when chilled a bit and after decanting. Not so great. Can avoid.

Earthy mouth on this lovely Malbec, with a nice long finish. Lingering hints of raspberry and thyme while the first impression is quite chocolatey. Good for a hearty meal, but quite drinkable on its own.

Wasn't good. Very acid. Asked to change it at the restaurant and all the box taste the same. Sorry Michel Torino

Dark ruby-purple color, sweet grapey nose. Simple, angular body. Nothing special but perfectly drinkable.

Powerful yet straightforward.
Deep intense purple coloured, ruby/violet shades. 
Vigorous bouquet offers aromas of ripe plums and dark cherries as main contributors, with some rosemary, liquor and vanilla on background. 
Good body, well intgrated tannins, spicy and oaky palate with replicating nose flavors with addition of slight chocolate hint.
Round finish, pretty long and spicy, with plums/cherries slowly fading away.
Nice company to spicy food, red meats, mature cheeses.

Erittäin hyvänmakuinen ja helppo juotava. Sopii ei niin kokeneillekkin punkun ystäville. Sopi hyvin härän kaverina
