Llama Old Vine Alto Agrelo Valley Malbec

A decent malbec. Not the most full-bodied, but facil de tomar. $13, so I don't know if I need to get it again, since I wasn't blown away

Old vine estate bottled 2016. Fantastic balance

Plum and pepper

I like it. Great flavor of pepper, oak, stone fruits. Could be a bit heavier if a mouth feel I think that mite tie the flavors together.

Solid fruit - a comfort wine

Once decanted, this became a happy little wine.

Color of hazy purple. Nose of abundance of cranberries, sour cherries, some graphite note, and some sulfate note. Taste of some cranberries, sugary note like plum, tobacco leaves, a bit cocoa, very easy and smooth, and almost all tannins. Aftertaste is sugary, cranberries note, zesty, tobacco leaves, and leafy. She is very smooth to enjoy on any night. If I want to be picky, I will say she lacks of some complexity and has a tiny bit of bitter sulfate note. But why you worry about that?

Amazing with a mid-rare ribeye.

Dry Malbec, sour cherry, raspberry, oaky

Fine, fresh, with a bit of a dark depth. Cherry and Pom, soft and easy. Not a cloying wine, one I would serve as a second. 3 hours airtime leads me to believe it is good right from cork pop.
