Bright clear ruby in the glass. Raspberry, clove, sandalwood on the nose. Bright red tart fruits, spice, hint of leather, with a rounded, polished medium body and finish.

Clear, deep purple-black. Nose showed disciplined, intense dark fruits, cassis, granite, toast. Blackberry and dark cassis on the palate, with black pepper, vanilla, and olive notes adding complexity, and with a tart yet plush and chewy mouthfeel. Nicely integrated tannins power a long finish. Maybe a bit oaky still but I'm sensitive to this lately. All in all, an outstanding Malbec.

Deep garnet, a bit cloudy in the glass. Nose shows dark, spicy fruit, some earthy leather. Palate presents blackberry, cassis, white pepper, spices, slight vanilla. Nice depth, chewy, long finish with nicely integrated tannins.
