Earthy, dark berries and subtle plum, full and heavy, low acidity, medium tannins at the end. Good wine although local equivalents can be had for less.

P: Med body with a rndish entry; Almost swtish fruit on front yet with a finishing structure; Good length & should improve with short term cellaring, say 18-30 mos. (The elegance & balance of this are quite attractive!).

Deep Violet Red with purple rim at Sep 16. Commercial style here , Cherry ,Berry like fruit with little good oak used relying on up front fruit , typical large volume style. Palate has lite to medium bodied structure lacking mid palate fruit sweetness only showing extracted tannin to give length .. average. Would go well with sweet tomato based dishes which helps cut through the tannin ... overall average . You can shop better , maybe ave. vintage but high alc. doesn't show this.

Super easy drinking. All fruit. Delicious, strawberry jam. None of the funky / gamieness that can come with some Malbecs.
