This top-tier Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc blend has a few years of bottle age on it, but unfortunately it's not holding up well. There are pleasant aromas of licorice and potpourri spice, but there's also some barnyard and volatile notes which make the fruit feel slightly sour. After time in glass, some of these aromas blow off but then the wine seems to close in on itself. On the palate, there's a tight grip of muscular drying tannins which wrestle with plush dark berry fruit and a bitter oak spice on the finish.
