April 26, 2024 - WS Grand Tour (Walkaround Tasting) (New Orleans): Not a huge Malbec fan normally but this breaks the mold for me. Drinking so nicely right now. Rich mature fruits, chocolate and spices. Descriptors sound almost port-like but the fruit is more restrained than that and it would be a perfect dinner wine.
This is a buy for dinner parties with almost winos.2 people found this helpful Comments (3) -

April 26, 2024 - Fruit still very strong, along with some pleasant mushroom that adds richness. Smooth, dry, slightly spicy palate. Firm, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish.
Tasted this at Wine Spectator’s Grand Tour in New Orleans. This was a very nice surprise. Who says Argentinian wines don’t age well? My wife and DQ may have liked this even more than I did.2 people found this helpful Comments (1) -

February 2, 2024 - Mint, blackcurrant, juice soaked pastry, and undergrowth all present on the nose. Beautifully presented in great balance on the palette. The 2014 Caro is the only other of these Argentine Cabernet Malbec blends that I’ve had, but based on this small sample size I will be seeking out as many as I can

January 28, 2024 - Limited notes taken. A deep purple core fading to a medium ruby outer edge. Damp herbs, soft leather, and baked damsons. Intense, concentrated, and full without overstepping the mark. Excellent.

September 29, 2023 - Opened two hours in advance of dinner. Put the cork back in and took to a BYOB to meet our friends Tom and Cindi. Dark fruit on the nose, the palate was blueberry, blackberry, tobacco, tree bark and dried leaves leading to a moderately long finish. My wife said it matched up to her lamb chops perfectly. My crab crusted halibut - not so much.
