  Ample et corsé.
  Des fruits noirs et des épices.
  Les tannins sont un peu assèchants
  et la finale longue mais on sent une petite chauffe.
  Bien.

  Bold, dry, tannic wine that has years of quality drinking ahead. Much better second day. 92-94 range.

  I bought this wine from my friend Jacek, who lived in France for many years. He returned to Poland and now he imports wines from France and will soon open a wine shop in my small town. I congratulate him on his courage and good luck! Because I don't even remember the last time I drank Malbec in the decision to apologize to it I opened this bottle. Wow, I couldn't believe I only paid $ 14 for such a good wine. I thought my friend made price mistake then I started to search Internet about this wine.
  The price is between $18 and $21, but Jacek gets most of his wines directly from producers, then it's even lower. But pay attention here now: I discovered, that Decanter gave it 97 points, 2018 was also listed on WE's Top 100 of 2021 and twice a former Wine Spectator Top 100.  Unbelievable! This is my first 97 pts. wine! Well if all 97 pts. wines taste like this one, then they are very much overpriced 😉
  Don't get me wrong. This wine is really special but does it deserve 97 points? I don't know, but never mind. The wine is elegant, sophisticated and classy. Lovely aromas of red cherry mixed with tabacco, olives( nice) and smoke. Flavors are delicate with perfect balance between them. Red cherry, cranberry, tabacco, olives ( nice). Perfect blend of tannins and acidity. Soft but long finish with the all components I mentioned above (!!!)
  Balance, balance, balance.
  And one more "technical" thing: according back label this wine is 90% of Malbec and 10% of Tannat
