Lovely, intense, ruby color. More so than most Malbecs.

It has a fresh aroma of raisins, plums, and black figs. It is subtle, but very pleasant.

Very full-bodied. Body just jumps out at you. And the wine is also very smooth. It’s a pleasure to drink, even though it’s rather simple, lacking in different flavors. The tannins are also very controlled, making for a very balanced wine. Though I typically don’t like one-dimensional wines, this is a pleasure to drink because it is so well-balanced. Argentine Malbecs tend to be overly oaky, but this is just right.

Overall Score: 4.1/5.0
