This wine is evolving quite fast. Orange peel notes are added to the aromas and flavours noted in a bottle just over a year ago and there is less liveliness. Still agreeable.

This wine is a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grown at an altitude of 1800 metres. It showed a dark ruby red colour and was medium/full bodied with generous berry fruit, a savoury ivy tang, smooth texture, some spice and chocolate, fair acidity and not a lot of tannic grip on a fairly persistent finish. Not for the long haul, I think, but why wait? Good wine and decent QPR at €10.
Retasted on 8/12/2017, it was showing more evolution than I expected, albeit pleasantly complex, and confirmed, I think, that this is for drinking quite young.
