Full body and fruity. Surprising for such a young Malbec. Reminds me of a buddy from wrestling camp. Won't knee you in the groin which is also a major plus.

Tastes like misery. Chile 4-1 Argentina, Copa America 2015 Shootout.

This is a somewhat average Argentinan red. Not much depth to it - nice flavour but not enough body to carry it through making it easy drinking but lacking enough depth to bring the fruitiness and slight pepperiness into the palate.

Smells very grapey, medium body, spicy, semi dry, tasty. Some dried fruit and pepper. Not bad for a cheap table wine.

Easy drinking. Nothing complex. Does get boring with time. A single glass would be enough.

Used it to make sangria, and it's remarkably good for cheap wine! I might even risk trying this one on its own. This coming from someone who hates red wine...

Great memory of an amazing dinner! Town Hall, Ennis. Not the best wine, but definitely drinkable :)
