The color of new oak. Nose if oak and clove. Spicy clove, anise, pepper and apricot fruit mouth. Oily and spicy. Best served neat. (Not a mixer). Given 97.5 points by whisky expert Jim Murray in his 13th Annual Whiskey Bible.

A typical Malbec with mild tannins, aroma and taste of pepper, clove and fruit. Could be more complex. We will have to try the reserve wines.
