(50% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah and 5% Petit Verdot): Dark red. High-toned aromas of plum, blackberry, licorice, spices and peppery herbs. Juicy, spicy and youthfully brooding, but still with a pliant texture to the flavors of black fruits, licorice and spices. Finishes with slightly clenched tannins.
