It's very hot and very dark tannins. The tannins are very harsh and overpowering. It's not complex - you can just get a bit of cherry, but then the tannins come roaring back in. Bought this while traveling to have with steak.
It doesn't really taste like a Argentinian Malbec at all which is sad because I love them.

Appearance- very dark garnet, medium+ viscosity. On the nose- light scents of oak and vanilla, like a hollow piece of wood. Olive oil and blackberries. Palate- light bodied, medium tannins. Black pepper and baking spices. Takes time to open up on the palate. Blackberries, green peppers. Vanilla. Finish- fairly smooth, flavor is medium+ lasting to develop into bitter flavors.
Drinks like a cheap French wine. Not extremely complex.
