Vintage 2018 | from magnum | Easygoing wine, ideal for Friday evening diner with spareribs. I find the scores the wine gets a bit disappointing, it gives a lot of joy: cherries, even a bit frivolous in smell and taste. Frivolous is not a word I associate with Malbec. But it is.

Very pleasant. Intense dark cherry flavor, it went really well with dark chocolate and sharp aged cheese

Dec 19th, 2020Very much what I look for in a malbec: notes of cherry and earth, spicy, and excellent to pair. Very pleased, especially for the price.

Very dark purple and opaque in the glass. Nose has tart fruit, some yeast, and a slightly harsh alcohol effect. Tastes of tart berries with a faint but off-putting balsamic vinegar note. Round and soft on the palate despite being light-to-medium bodied. Drinkable but with a few flaws that will keep me from buying again.
