Nice earth smells, mixed with some dark red fruits. Dirty earthy funk with inky plums and berries finishing off with maraschino cherries and dark cocoa with a hint of cinnamon. Finish lingers on for some time. Very nice!

Solid, ripe, well-balanced, well-priced malbec; good nose, with some earthy funk, dark purple fruit, especially plums, and spicy notes; rich, ripe, dark fruit flavors, with some chocolate in the background, and firm, well-integrated tannins for balance; good finish, ending in black cherries and plums. Much better the second day after opening.

PnP slightly chilled. Deep, dark purple, clear. Typical Malbec nose/taste. Better then the low end label, rich, extracted, decent balance, good drinking window. Nothing special. Gift.

inky purple with long legs. black plum, slightly pruned. fruit forward, round, simple, and ultimately fatiguing, despite a big steak.

Very much better than the lower-level bottling, with plum, berry, and leather notes.
