2005 Finca Las Divas Riglos Gran Malbec

Bright ruby-red. Blackberry, black cherry, bitter chocolate, licorice and a whiff of cinders on the nose. Suave, fine-grained and rather oaky, with a slightly herbal quality to the flavors of dark fruits and licorice. Nicely aromatic and delineated, but a tad green-edged on the finish, which features dusty tannins.
