Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, black currants, cedar, vanilla, earth, cloves, spices, black tea, bell pepper, green herbs, bitter vegetables, graphite and peppercorn.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cherries, vanilla, licorice, oak, dark coffee, green vegetables, bell pepper, earth, leather, herbs, bitter almonds, tar and peppercorn.

This Mendoza Malbec is still young and unbalanced, but showing mild complexity. Still a little bitter, but that will hopefully go away with time.
A good food wine that will pair nicely with a grilled steak.
Needs 2 hours to open up and will be better in 3 to 5 years in the bottle.
14% alcohol by volume.
$15.

Jan 15th, 2018Lovely High-altitude Malbec, shared by Pulis' at b-day. Dry cherry, full flavor and nice ruby color, a little spicy finish and a touch of raspberry on the palette - a little light and tart/tannic for a Malbec. High alcohol, especially in day 2 and 3.
