Color of inky and pure purple, a bit gray tone and nice legs. Nose of ripe dark fruits, blackberries, ripe grapes, currant, a but spicy, and some more plum and strawberry note. A bit hint of oak too. Nose is decent. Taste follows the nose with addition of tobacco leaves, refined tannins, refined sweetness paired with refreshing acidity. A bit minty and zesty note too. Quite silky and nice. Aftertaste is medium long with a good repeat of all the notes. Nicely done.

Spicy cinnamon, strongly astringent, deep dark purple, dark cherry. Not your typical Malbec.
