Reviews and Ratings

Irina Omari rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Beautiful wine, medium to deep purple colour with nice light rim. Medium not overwhelming nose with plums and red fruit. A bit of pepper and dark chocolate. Dry wine with nice light tannins and acidity, very easy to drink. Very pronounced prunes and ripe fruit flavours, black currents and spices. Nice balance and texture. Fantastic wine for the price and a very interesting label.
Here's an amazing Malbec at an equally amazing price. Packed with dark berry fruit, woodsmoke, vanilla and chocolate with an interesting woodsy note, it's a generous wine with gobs of fruit and ripe, youthful tannins. Source: Vintages Wine Ratings and Reviews, Nov. 2013
