More malolactic than citric acid but lovely nonetheless. Paired very well with shrimp scampi. — 2 years ago

Ruby light red. Some strawberry raspberry. Inviting nose, something woody with creamy vanilla. Like my moms’s panna cotta with a red berry and black berry compote. Round on the palate, the woody quality shows in the tannin. Shmedium acidity that keeps this moving on the palate and drinkable at room temp. I like the structure and focus. 87-88. Definitely looking into more Burgundy Pinot. This was the first ordered wine of the tasting. — 2 years ago

Acceptable but you can do better Mendoza Malbec from this vintage at this price point. Needs to be paired with food, not the most pleasant drinking on its own. — 2 years ago

Great up until this notably bitter finish that I found unpleasant. — 2 years ago

Outrageously nice value for $13. This is maybe only my second or third Malbec but this was by far my favorite On the nose I get some dark fruits, baguette, anise. Tannins could be better incorporated (maybe this changes with age?) but they’re there, acidity is there but the body hides it. Definitely get some chocolate towards the end, lightly toasted tobacco on the finish. Magenta rim, deep opaque purple color. Yeah probably one of the best red wines I’ve found at this price point in 2024. I would definitely buy again and recommend to a friend. — 2 years ago
