Deep ruby color with pronounced primary aromas of blackberries, bramble and licorice and secondary aromas of vanilla and caramel and cedar. On the palate one can appreciate the medium intensity smooth and fine grained tannins and the red candied fruit and peppery spice sensations. #malbec #andes #argentinianmalbec

15.5/20 (86/100) Вино с ароматами чёрных ягод: ежевики, бузины; нота чернослива и гвоздики. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и мягкими, обволакивающими танинами. Чёрные ягоды во вкусе. Добротный базовый аргентинский мальбек.

Still hunting for a favorite Malbec, available to buy here in Norway. 🕵🏼‍♀️ This one was good but didn't quite hit the mark. Great flavor, hint of spicy in the after taste 🌶, but in general, pretty standard for a SA Malbec. 🍷 After something with a bit more sass. ➰

Cherry, an earthy note, violet, some spices too. The palate is well designed and quite fresh, with a strong acid backbone, a beautiful cherry note all along, a good width and a soft mouthfeel. The mid palate builds up slowly and expands nicely, with a slight layer of grainy tannins. The finsih is long and fruity with a spicy note. This wine is very precise with that sheer acid drive, you can bet it was grown in high altitude from that freshness and that energy. Good one!

Bitter and tannic, with pronounced herbal peppery notes. Not too complex, but I liked it.
