This wine poured a deep opaque purple in color and opened up with attractive aromas of black fruit, violets, cedar, tar, pencil shavings and savoury spices. On the mouthfeel, a full bodied wine with great texture, crushed wild berries, creamy oak flavours, fresh acidity and fine grained tannins. This Malbec finish is robust with great energy, flavours and fine grained tannins lingering. I love the structure and flavours of this gorgeous made to please Malbec, the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon certainly added an additional layer of flavours and complexity. Great value and strongly recommended.
David describes it well. Nice deep taste, but I did not think it was smooth enough to rate a ninety. Decent value, though.
Big tannins stain your glass. The nose busts with freshly made grape juice concentrate. It's really tannic, reminds me of Tannat...too astringent, harsh, powerful and bitter for my palate. Deeply concentrated. Finished with vanilla oak & bitter black coffee grinds.
