Dark red, inky, high pigment extraction. Menthol and dark fruit aromas. Boysenberry and white pepper flavors, as advertised on the label. Slightly tart, almost lactic finish with some hint of spice. Relatively light on tannins which is in line with the Côt style of Malbecs-drinkability with a lighter and not robust touch. Yummy. After two hours, moderate skin astringency emerges, which explains all that pigment extraction.
