Nose: wonderful cherry, plum, earth and leather aromas. Complex but round and inviting.Palate: nice balance of plum fruit and earthy tannins. Good structure means this Argentinian Malbec is firm but not overpowering. Finish: lingering cherry at the back of the mouth finishes nicely.Overall: A friend brought this bottle over for us to share and it was a delightful gift.
