Not a huge fan. Decent wine, but quite bitter for my taste.

A bit harsh on first - but later it opens up. Dark purple color, steady black berry taste with touch of tobacco. Nice fruity aroma.

Way better Argentinian Malbec out there, even at this value price point. Sour cherries and heavy tannins. Still finds a level of drinkablity despite those rough notes but it’s below average.
