  It is what it is, standard Argentine Malbec. Easy to drink, fruit forward, low tannin, tasty and nothing wrong here. 88 because there are others like it for less.

  Eye: Inky purple, opaque.
  
  Nose: black plum, blackberry, mint, blood (?), earth.
  
  Palate: fruit notes follow the nose, black licorice, slightly bitter dark chocolate, minor spice, rocky minerality. Very dark profile and concentrated. Low-ish acid, medium+ body, medium+ length, light tannins with chalky quality.
  
  Good value for $45 IMO. Was missing some acid, otherwise would have been better in balance and stellar.

  Dark purple plums, licorice, and balsamic funk on the nose. Jammy on the palate, ripe fruit, berries, prune baking spices. The tannins have a bite, medium acidity, dry and full-bodied. It feels like you are drinking grandma's blackberry pie. It's very heavy and luscious but a bit sweeter than I prefer.

  Ripe fruit, some bit bitter oaky notes that I didnt really like. Long finish. Feels like very hefty wine. Liked the 2018 more.
