Admittedly haven't been drinking too much Argentine malbec these days, but this is a nice change of pace from the last examples I can recall. Definitely has a more balanced, restrained approach, and I can really appreciate that. Purplish ruby in color. Aromas of black fruit, licorice, Asian 5 spice, high cocoa percentage dark chocolate, and graphite. Medium body, acid, and finish, with flavors of cassis, blackberry, tart black raspberry, dark chocolate, licorice, mineral, and spice. Really solid QPR at $14.

Lots of sediment. Did not taste like a Malbec, however was not unpleasant. Still dark fruit and tannin. In reasonable balance.

Far from typical Argentinean. Not very deep but cool and enough complexity to keep your interest and juicy, clean and quite elegant. RP 90

Magenta; deep, mineral, ferrous notes; textural, full mouthfeel with loads of dark fruit and ample but not harsh tannins; very well made.
