Dark purple with streaks of crimson. Dirt, blueberry pie, and leather nose. Medium bodied, plums, bramble, pepper, big grainy tannins, tobacco, and a long almost sweet finish. A good, big boy malbec.

With a bouquet of scrub brush, toasted cedar, blackberry, peppercorn, underlying seductive raspberry and exotic spices, I am rendered near powerless. Boasting flavors of mulberry, black pepper, clove, tart sloe berry fruit acids and drying leather-like tannins wrapped in velvet. This wine delivers complexity with exquisite balance as is always delivered by a talented winemaker who masters elegance and masculinity in every bottle. Opened up beautifully after 3+ hours. Next 2015+ or significant aeration.

Quite Tannic. Needs air and could sit another couple of years.
