Ripe and big, with campfire aromas and black fruit. There’s a bulky molasses and brown sugar element to this wine along with blackberry and creamy mocha. Ripe and rich for a value-priced Malbec, but that said, it teeters on the verge of being syrupy. Best if you like creamy New World reds.——M.S.(8/1/2009)—— 87
