Quite spicy, with the Syrah element offering a meaty, leathery quality that varietal Malbecs just don’t have. The nose is rich, with some mocha giving it oaky warmth. the mouthfilling palate is packed with kirsch, cassis and blackberry, while the finish is smoky with some fiery heat. Needs another year or two to come together.
