Dark and inky, rich aromas of black fruit. Palate shows buckets of black cherry, some blackcurrant and wild berry flavors, dark chocolate, coffee bean and a touch of tannic grip. More of a black-fruit cocktail in my opinion, but nevertheless shows intensity of warm-climate grape flavors. Finish is medium+. Wish it was just a bit more restrained, or more terrior-specific in the end result.

What a pleasant surprise, we were not expecting this complexity and depth of fruit in a Malbec.
Dark garnet colored, medium bodied, black currant and black berry fruits accented by subtle tones of tobacco leaf, leather, expresso and hints of cedar with moderate lingering tannins.
