This Malbec shows an almost-black color—you definitely can’t read the newspaper through it. On the nose, there’s a hint of smoky toast alongside classic strawberry preserves and pomegranate. The palate is ripe yet restrained, with a little grippy but supple tannins that give it structure and ageability. Mid-palate fruit bursts just enough before the tannins guide it to a refined, long-lasting finish of about 45 seconds. With its balance, ageability, and cellar potential, this Malbec could easily evolve, but you can enjoy it now with a hearty meal!
