Really nice with earthy, wet dirt with violets, blackberries and baked plums.

Smells a bit off but is okay after decanting for a bit. About a year or so past it’s prime.

The 2013 was decent. Not too spicy but bold enough.

Yep: juicy and uncomplicated. Tiny bit of tang to finish, hasn't lost too much acidity like some other Argentinian malbecs. Very versatile with dinner. Note to self to buy some if I see it.
