Deep purple with good legs; spicy and floral nose; full bodied though unbalanced with dominant acidity and spices making for an aggressive and slightly hot wine; finish primarily one of recovery. Would have been better paired up against some food... on its own too racy for my taste.

Popped and poured. Consumed on its own with guests over a period of 2 ½ hours. Great dark purple colour. A little restrained on the aromatics. On the palate the full-bodied wine showed ripe fruits and liquorice and was extremely spicy, with a long finish. The wine got rounder after some time in the glass. It would probably be a good choice for barbecue or to pair with grilled steak. At EUR 7 this Malbec offers a great QPR. I will buy it again.

Sweet bright fruit. Green. Hard tannins. Some RS? Dull.
