Polished. The style is between new and old. Big portion of Malbec in the blend gives some sweet notes. Soothing.

Round fruit forward with cherry, red raspberry, and a touch of plum. Just when you think it’s gonna be a fruit bomb, it Fades into an acid and cocoa powder punch. Then the tannins wash over you. And it finishes with a nice Italian herbal kick w some oak.
