This Malbec is blended with 16% of Argentina's "other red grape" Bonarda and 12% Syrah. It persuades you with sweet cherry and blueberry aromas, warm spice, vanilla, chocolate and hints of tobacco leaf. The palate is fresh, there are plenty of ripe berry flavours, espresso and spice with a savoury backbone. A supple, well-made wine with good acidity and a long smooth finish.
Very Tasty!

What a handsome package! The simplicity of black, white and red makes this bottle look far more posh than the price.
Rich with dark cherries and spiced berry aromas and vanilla notes. Smooth and lush on the palate with spiced plums, meaty hints, earth, cocoa and peppery flavours.
70% Malbec, 18% Bonarda, 12% Syrah.
Its intensity will pair well with meaty dishes.

A dense, rich purple-garnet colour with sweet, fresh berry aromas, chocolate, blueberry syrup and allspice notes. Smooth on the palate with more fresh berry flavours, vanilla and oak spices with firm tannins on the finish.

Aromas of ripe raspberry and blackberries, peppercorns and mixed spice with a hint of bacon fat. The palate is, as one would expect from Malbec, meaty and quite savoury with a supple entry and flavours of dark berry fruit, spice and leather and again, peppercorns. The acidity is bright, the tannins take hold mid-palate and stick. Good structure and power, a wine made for meat and robust sauces.
