Perfumed cranberries on nose. Lots of violets and fruit at first, some licorice, falls apart as it goes down. Somewhat flabby, lacking in acid/structure. There's some fruit and soft tannins on the finish, but fades pretty quickly. Not a bad wine by any measure, but most Argentinian Malbecs are better.

in full form and bigger than I expected; nose, fruit, a slight burn on the finish but inviting. try their Claret if you like this.

Tasted too young.... Had to breathe for over a day to get some subtle hints of better Malbecs. Sticking to Argentinians from now on.

Decent wine, nothing spectacular. Dark fruit on the nose and taste, with a bit of heat in the finish.

Thin for a malbec, short finish, only a hint of fruit, outclassed by all but a few of the Argentinians
