  Opened 4/8/19
  0-15mins
  Nose: bit of red fruit and cherry, hint of fresh dough
  Optic: red, ruby, still has life in it.
  Palate: Light weight and silken in texture. Mineral rock on the mid palate with sides of tannin, hints of vegetal, green capsicum and Tobacco on the edges. Still has good acid structure and could go another 5 years.
  15-60mins
  Palate: Opening up to savory red plums and white raspberries and the back bone of mineral rock, vegetal flavours and tobacco are a bit more present on the finish

  Fruity and smooth, if a bit rustic. Simple, but should make most Malbec drinkers happy.

  great $10 malbec!
  
  the 2012 had far more dark fruit and chocolate notes while this shows off some stunning red fruit. definite strawberry and bright cherry with good acidity. hints of cinnamin and vanilla but this is fruit forward for sure without being jammy or hot. i appreciate the 13.5 abv compared to other mendoza offerings.
  
  drinkable now but will surely improve

  Solid malbec...fresh and bright fruit supported well with acidity and an undertone of mocha and tannin.
