Strong aroma of alcohol on PnP. Medium legs, purple color. A little aroma of cranberry, dried cherry, and maybe pine sap. A little buttery from the oak. Jammy, but not really a traditional Malbec flavor. Some minerality. We had this at a tasting and bought two bottles and now wonder why.

Deep ruby red color, unpleasant nose of greenness, acidity, crude oil and butter. On the dry side, with light to medium body and crisp acidity, lots tannins, unbalanced regarding alcohol and tannins. A lot of heat, watery and no signs of oak. Some red fruit and pepper.

At first a little bit too much wood - but much better on the second day. Plum-like fruit which I consider typical of the grape variety. Nice balance.

Nice mellow body. Has a smooth yet up front tannis.

Deep ruby color, a bit tannic, yet fruity (but not in an entirely pleasant way). A little disappointing for a Malbec. Perhaps I've had it too long?
