  I'm very pleased with this one - it's priced appropriately or perhaps even a bit low. Like many malbecs, it needs to be decanted prior to drinking. Deep violet in coloring. Spices are present on the nose, and its intense flavor profile is distinct. Cherry and oak are the dominant flavors. I paired this with ribeye steak and spinach salad with blue cheese crumbles and it nearly overpowered the dish - be careful when pairing with food.

  One of the best young malbec, great with meat also goes well on its own , has a spicy pinch to start with but finishes smooth.
  If you love Malbec I would definitely reco this one @ value for money vs taste.
