Le vin affiche une belle robe violacé intense. Au nez on retrouve une masse de fruits noirs à parfaite maturité, auquel s'ajoute une jolie note épicé et une touche de tabac. La bouche est quant à elle, ronde et fraiche, les tanins sont souples et le tout est enveloppé dans une belle matière fruité. On retrouve peu ou pas de bois et l'alcool est imperceptible. Le vin est à clairement à son meilleur en ce moment et quel rapport Q/P!!

Somewhat promising nose that falls flat on the palate. Astringent. Time in the glass didn't seem to help. For the price, I believe there are better options.

De couleur rubis foncé au pourtour violacé. Au nez, on a du chêne, violette, liqueur de mûre, fruits noirs... Très invitant! La bouche est d'une bonne concentration, sur les mêmes arômes qu'au nez, c'est chaleureux, la bouche est assez grasse et se termine sur une impression mentholé. Excellent rapport Q/P!

Vibrant dark ruby with youthful and vibrant crimson hue. Nice floral nose along with bright red fruits, strawberry, raspberry, hints of pepper. Forward and expressive aromas. Sweet fruity entry, along with raspberry, strawberry, pepper, violet, and some meaty notes, Fresh and light medium bodied. This is a simple and easy to drink Malbec. Nice finish with soft tannins. Deliver very good QPR.

Addendum to previous review: Very fresh at the outset, with vibrant dark berries and loads of vanilla, before settling into a flat staleness mid-palate. Quite acidic, with gritty tannins. Decent, and still a good value, but nothing great.
Review from August 2014: Basic Malbec, but still quite enjoyable; medium- to full-bodied with a deep purple, almost black colour, with murky aromas of violet, cassis, and other purple and black fruit, propelled by hefty oakiness; somewhat nondescript beyond the basics, lacking definition and distinction, but solid given its youth and certainly good value overall.

Rather full bodied and robust with dark fruit, firm acidity and licorice on the palate. Smooth tannins. Solid stuff that paired well with the christmas ham tonite. Nice QPR.

Inky, opaque blueish-purple color. Pretty reticent nose with rather dark-toned aromas of ripe blackcurrants, plummy dark fruits, some spicy oak tones, a little bit of earthy character and a hint of vanilla. The wine is rich, full-bodied and quite hot on the palate with bold flavors of ripe blackberries, juicy dark fruits, some peppery spice, a little bit of woody bitterness, a hint of toasty oak spice and a touch of vanilla. The wine is medium-to-moderate in acidity with quite mellow and well-manicured ripe tannins. The finish is dry, spicy and more bitter than the midpalate with quite long flavors of woody spice, blackcurrant juice, some bitter oak spice, a little bit of vanilla and ripe dark fruits. The acidity feels a bit more pronounced, lending a mouthwatering note to the aftertaste.
A quite predictable Argentinian Malbec with big body, weighty fruit and not enough structure to keep it all together. The wine isn't particularly flabby or too soft, but overall the wine was calling for higher acidity and tannic firmness. Fortunately the wine isn't over-oaked or too jammy in its ripeness. Technically this is a good and well-made wine, but I find it really hard to find anything interesting in a new world bruiser like this. Priced according to its quality at 11,99€.

A nose of some dark fruit and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodies red, with blackberries, plum, coffee and spice on finish. A good value. www.winelx.com

A lovely wine that's easy to pair. Deep color with a medium/full body. Accessible to wine neophytes but enjoyable for experienced palates too.
