Tasting note:

A lush texture with layers of flavor and a satisfying long finish. This superb, robust wine offers ripe blackberries and cherries with background notes of violets, cassis and smoky leather. This wine is made entirely from the Malbec grape grown in an 80-year-old vineyard in Mendoza’s Lujan de Cuyo region. Half of the wine was fermented in barrels and then was aged 12 months in French oak. Food matches: beef with a red wine reduction sauce, hamburgers, roast and grilled lamb, bison steak.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Gabriel Israel rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I find it interesting that you don't need to be a wine expert to taste the difference between this sophisticated Malbec and the Malbec that are sold around the $15. This is truly a very good Malbec. It's pure, clean, silky, full body, multi layered. Rewarding indeed.
