This is one of the few times I wish I hadn't listened to my shopkeep.
"You're the Malbec woman. If you don't like it? Money back, but I promise you will"
I am going to try not to sass this one too hard, and be as fair as possible, hoping that maybe this is just a bad bottle.
Nose: Expired strawberry, scorched coconut. Some rhubarb as it sits in the glass.
Palate: A tray full of cigarette ashes, orange peel, and more rhubarb. Some strawberry on additional sips, but it's hard to keep returning to this.
Finish: Metallic astringency, and much longer than I would have hoped.
Got the refund and went for something else.
