Ascencion
Salta, Argentina
Malbec 
2010
Rating: 4.5 stars
An excellant Malbec 
Definitely recommend

Notes: Thin lip which forms into fat heavy drops which are wide at the top. Slightly firm or full flavors. Tart cherries and a hint of cloves. Tannins on the back end, Spice is similar to Cilantro. Excellant with cracked pepper and Rye.
Nose: Spicy red fruit with hints of Oak. Spicyness is enhanced w/air. After it has sat still for a while the burnt oak smell comes out.
Color:Ruby red
Glasses: Drank with Schott Zwiesel full body red glasses.
