Upfront nose with licorice, dark cherry, and toffee. Juicy ripe fruit on a well-balanced palate. Could age for another 3 years or so. Great value.

Nice deep color; initial aroma is sharp. Nice balance here: I get berry up front, into the leather and earthy finish. I like it as a sipper, but then I'm a sucker for cheap malbec. Easy to drink.
