    Forced woody aromas and flavors are a persistent theme on this Uco Valley Malbec, which smells a bit horsey and stewed. Dense black-fruit flavors are roasted and peppery, while wood and related resin notes rise up on the back palate. Rustic power and fiery heat are loud elements…

    Stalky, rustic aromas of plum and animal hide lead to a round, solid palate with plum, cherry, herb and spice flavors that are simple as a whole. A lasting but largely fruitless finish is more oaky than anything.

    Fleshy and smelling of berry skins, this is a large Malbec. Everything tastes dark and fruity, with heavy flavors of spice and toast that powerfully linger on the finish. Texturally, this is tannic, ripe and syrupy.
