Nose of red raspberry, plum and smoke. In the mouth, it is soft with red raspberries and a slight astringency, not quite medicinal. Yeah, it is fruity sweet, but out of balance. The finish is short with oak and red raspberry. In general, I like malbecs, but not this one.

Screw top. Was on the sweet side for me but wife liked from first sip. Based on a earlier reviewers comments, I was dreading this to be really bad..and it wasn't. Purple but not as deep as I've seen some malbecs, but pretty deep still. It had a sweet taste to me without being sweet, if you understand. Day two and it smoothed out quite a bit and the sweetness diminished for me. I would classify this a a decent table wine that I would enjoy by the glass if dining out. I give it 87 points but still feel it is a good every day wine for the table.

Terrible wine. That's all I'll say.
