Dark red color. Rasberries/blackberries with some spice on the nose. Tannins still present and grab ahold the tongue. Blackberry, rasberry and a bit of leather up front. Still a little hot but really nice. Not that expensive so I'd say it's a pretty good deal. Decent finish as well.

Blackberry, currant, smoky vanilla and oak notes. Supple on the palate. Agree with another reviewer's comparison against Punto Final. Easy to drink and great QPR.

Dark red. Average nose w/ dark & hint of alcohol. Smooth ripe fruit w/ a hint of licorice and leather giving it a bit of a rustic edge. Bright fruit on the front palate. Nice Malbec with some complexity and at the price you'll love it.

Dark cherry, plum, spice, and a hint of chocolate on the nose. Plum and an abundance of peppery spice on the palate. Firm tannins and a touch of acidity on the lingering finish. Medium-to-full bodied Malbec. Served a bit too warm at the restaurant.

Color is very dark ruby in color with nice light edges. Nose is very strong of fruit - blackberry jam, apple, slight vegetal, a little rose petals. The flavor profile seems to take a while to come out, but on the palate you get some of the fruit (more berry, slightly astringent, sour apple, currant), decent tannins, and a bit of leather and a slight bitter edge to the pre-finish. Finish is actually the best part - very long, mostly berry. Unquestionable value at $8

Very dary inky purple-red. Moderate nose of black fruits, blackberries, blackcurrants, a little leather, some faint rose petals, and just a tiny whiff of petrol (was gone in 10 min). On the palate: powerful, mouthfilling black cherry, plum and blueberry flavors explode across the front and mid palate. Smoky oak/vanilla tones greet you next (not present on the nose though). Moderate but firm youthful tannins and acidity keep you focused. This wine is very young but still drinking well right now. 30-40 second blackberry finish with mid-dry tannins rounding it out. This is a lovely wine and one that works well with or without food. Started before dinner and then paired with a T-Bone steak and salad. Beautiful. The flavor profile opened up about 60-90 min into the open bottle and revealed a jammy deliciousness that was welcome after dinner. This was a gift, but I'll be seeking more, perhaps trying their reserva. Compare to the Punto Final Malbec.

Warm rounded blackberry, blueberry, and sweet cherry fruit flavors. Lots of sweet vanilla. Fairly international in style. Good, but I like a bit more rustic flare to my malbecs.

Probably not a fair tasting, was not the first bottle of the evening. Solid Malbec, but could use a bit more time to mellow the tannins. Deep purple with good legs. Bouquet very fruity, taste of black cherry and acid. Will definitely try again and report back.

Wine was spoiled as indicated - got it as a gift a month ago. Too bad. TERAZZAS is a good winery, Malbec reserva normally has a rating of +85.

It's getting a little hollow. There's still raspberry and vanilla, but it's a little shallow.

Raspberry, a touch of vanilla and smoke. The acidity gives it a nice lift. The tannins are a little soft. Overall, very pleasant.

Superior wine for the price. Deep inky color, standup deep cheery aroma and smooth generous flavor.

Deep, dark, inky. Taste of bing cherry with aftertaste of cream soda. Would like again but don't need to run out and get it again right away.

Amazingly, held it's own against the Torbreck and Rosenblums on New Year's eve. Black fruit, sharper angular tannins, but not in a bad way. Great QPR!

Interesting, lighter than I thought, but good malbec example. If prices on here are right ($11) this is a very good value.
