Tannic with grilled spice, dark fruits of plum and blackberry, smoke and cured meat. A joy to drink. Hard to imagine Malbec more enjoyable or well done at this price.

Suckling gave this a 95.... While it is rock solid... Im curious about his accommodations he received when tasting this wine, I'd say it's a solid 92. But at 95pts I expect other worldly wine. It's an exceptional value at under $20. Bountiful plums and great texture inky and balanced.

Light and tasty. Hints of red and black berries.

Impressively good for an Argentinian Malbec circa 2013. Not the best year, noted by the late tart bite, but still smooth and flavorful.

This turned out to be a very good wine. It had dark red fruit, Chocolate, and a subtle cola nose - but its good acidity keeps it fresh.

Very dark color, intense and tight with fine tannic structure. Very nice and should evolve.

Big berry fruit, touch of eucalyptus/sagebrush. Smooth tannins. Delicious!
