Nose: lively blackberry & black-cherry notes. Palate: emphasizing the fruity side of Malbec, this ripe, black-fruited wine is smooth & forward, with tobacco, spice & delicious, solid, berry fruit flavours. Freshness weaves through this ready-to-drink wine. Beside its complexity it is fresh, smooth & velvety.
