Yeah, I dunno. This is a weird one. I suppose one could say there was an intense floral note here but I detected a strange volatility on the nose. I'd say it was closer to chemical air freshener. An odd mix on the palate too; There was the fatness of rounded, fruity malbec but it had a very sharp, hot and acidic top end with a scooped out mid-palate. I found this to be totally out of balance. Aging will not help.
The style may well be deliberate, but just it didn't work for me. It's drinkable in a home-made wine sort of way.
