Fresh black fruit and a complex spiciness with earth, balance, and a really nice softness. For the price, this is a really nice wine--pleasant with a nice chicken and greens dinner. Easy and nice with no stress.

Not a lot of fruit. Plenty of spice, including black pepper. Good acidity and tannins, typical of a Mendoza Malbec. Not bad, but I'd prefer more fruit.

The taste is similar to the smell. The plum flavors give way to the dark inky spice. Medium finish of plum and chocolate and tobacco. Decent wine. Decanted for an hour and felt that was ample time. Lighter than other Malbecs but still some nice dark flavors going on.

Honestly unexciting and flat. Grapey taste with little complexity and developed little over the course of an hour.
