Medium, clear ruby red. Intensive aromas of black cherries, black tea and pepper. In addition a touch of smoke coming from the smoker. Very, very fruity. And also in this wine a certain acidity is recognizable. Medium to long finish. Perfectly balanced.
"bestial". What on earth shall this now mean? It's a synonym - for "brutal and tremendous". That's the wines presentation after fermentation. Trying to tame the beast is every year's challenge. Were Matias and Alfredo successful? Yes. As you probably recognized, in contradiction to the Maal wines II to IV and VI, this bottle was tasted only at one day. The reason is simple. I presented to some friends the wines II to VI. And the bestial bottle was totally empty. After 30 minutes...
Only 2,820 bottles were produced from this beautiful beast. The Malbec grapes come from vines that were abandoned for years. It seems that the grapes only wait to rise. You can drink it now or during the next eight years. This is a wine for meat prepared in the "barbarian" way on the BBQ grill.
