Big, fat malbec. Dark, thick and sweet. Black fruit, vegetable stock and alcohol on the nose. Full bodied. Tastes of blackberry/blackcurrant jam, chocolate, some oaky vanilla and a slightly green sourness. Tannin is moderate and sweet. Heady at 14.5%. Long, warm finish.
A sweet, plush, fruit forward wine that might appeal to commercial-style merlot drinkers.
I'd rather grab a Misterio for half the price.
