🍷 Appearance:
-
Deep, rich purple-red colour typical of Argentine Malbec.
👃 Aroma (Nose):
-
Powerful aromas of red berries and floral notes.

Ripe fruit scents like plum and blackberry.
-
Some expressions show hints of spice and pepper, and in certain releases, notes of black cherry and subtle oak/vanilla can emerge depending on oak ageing.
👅 Palate (Flavour & Texture):
-
Succulent red and brambly black fruit (plum, blackberry) forms the core flavour.
-
Balance of fruit sweetness with ripe, balanced tannins gives good structure.

Medium to full-bodied with a smooth mouthfeel and nice acidity that helps freshness.

Additional spice nuances (white pepper, cardamom) and subtle vanilla or mocha from oak ageing in some Reserve styles.
🏁 Finish:
-
Persistent finish with balanced tannins and lingering dark fruit.
🍽️ General Style:
-
Classic Argentine Malbec profile: expressive fruit first, with enough structure and spice complexity to pair well with grilled meats, pasta with tomato-based sauces, or mature cheeses.
