Medium+ concentration, purple fading to dark ruby at the rim. Nose is alcoholic, some darker fruits, and a wet pavement vibe. Ripe black fruits on the palate, with some stone flavors as well. Fine, grippy tannins at the roof of the mouth. Medium acidity.

Really nice. Firm tannins, medium acidity, medium+ body. Red plums, dark red cherries. Some nice earthiness to it with an herbaceous nose.

Nice, fruit-forward malbec. Dark purple, medium(+) body. Black raspberries and plums on the nose and palate. Tasty and easy to drink.

Deep ruby color. Medium acidity, very mellow tannins, medium(+) body. Vanilla was the primary aroma and taste, with a smooth, baked blueberry and baked plum fruit profile. Easy to drink and pretty tasty. Good QPR.

Much worse on day 2. Tart acidity, tannins seemed sharper and were far less pleasant. Balance was way off.

Medium garnet color. Medium plus acidity, medium body, soft tannins. Cranberries, tart cherries, underripe raspberries on the palate. Nothing too complex, a bit of minerality after it opened up.

Simple, fruit-forward malbec. Medium(-) tannins, medium(-) acidity, medium body. First thought was, "this tastes like grape juice." Maybe some baked blueberries as well, but it was really just grape for me. Very drinkable, good price (under $10), but not special in any way.

Dark ruby color, fading a little to garnet around the rim. Medium tannins, medium acidity. Darker red fruits and vanilla on the nose and palate. Smoothed out over the course of a few hours after opening.

Ruby color. Silky, creamy mouthfeel. Plums and dark fruits at the fore, but some red fruits as well.

Really nice and savory. Feral and earthy notes. Sort of raw red meat vibe. Some undertones of blueberries, but primarily funky and earthy. Not particularly tannic. Full bodied.

Nice and bright. Peppery with some dark fruits. More of a dark red than purple color. Good QPR. Medium plus tannins.

Didn’t do much for me on night one. Not bad, not great. Medium acidity. Some red fruits on the palate. Pretty simple. I enjoyed it more the second day, tannins softened quite a bit and the acidity really cut through.

Sharp red fruits - raspberry, cranberry. Slightly tart finish. Tannins started low, but built gradually, especially mid palate. Medium, lingering acidity

Easy drinker. Dark red fruit with a hint of black pepper on the nose. Medium body.

Grippy tannins. Lingering finish, especially at back of palate. Alcohol was very present, but not overwhelming. Spicy with dark fruit underneath. “Strong” in every sense. Could probably use some air/age.
