  70/30 malbec/merlot blend. Super dense coloring with ruby to garnet edges. Aromas of black fruits, graphite, and damp earth. Medium body, acid, and finish, with flavors of cassis, graphite minerality, lemon, and dry spices. Great with a steak tonight.

  Dark inky color and first pour through an aerator exhibited dark fruit and a lot of heat on the initial taste and on the finish. Four days later, dark fruit, pencil, and some tobacco with less heat and an oak barrel tastel on the finish. Maybe it needs food to rein it in.

  Deep garnet color. PnP through Vinturi: wonderful dark fruit nose with earth-tones and a bit of gravel. Very tannic, but with the fruit to back it up. Opened well an hour later. Bing cherry, black raspberry, tobacco among other pleasing notes on the palate. Day 3 was even better, and much mellower!
