Let it open awhile, at least 45 minutes. It’s a lighter style of Malbec, we need more examples of it out there. Yummy. Blueberry aroma and flavor, blackberry flavor with depth and length, if you are patient enough, seed bitterness finish. Light alcohol, light acid roundness, heavy pigment extraction but almost no skin astringency. There’s a nice playoff between the fruit, acid and bitterness.
