Man, what a weird wine. First off, its Malbec from Loire, which I didn't even know existed. The nose has that bubbly, live fermentation smell mixed with grape jolly rancher and blackberry candy notes. The palate is very fun and bright. This wine has more acid than any other Malbec I have ever tried, but the flavors are dark enough that it pairs well with steak. Fucking awesome.

As I move through all these guys wines, some 🌞, some 🎲, but all are energetic. But for some "bad smelling" wines not covered in new oak, It's a fresh view.
