This is by far the best Malbec I have ever had. Being from Argentina, I have had hundreds of Malbecs.
Everyone at my dinner felt the same way

This was a beautiful wine but I don’t think it was worth the price tag it’s at.

Bu en succ.
Après un sublime 2004 et un beau 2005 bu dernièrement,
j'étais du pour gouter au millésime courant.
Assez costaud et un brin lourd en ce moment mais tout semble en place
pour un bel avenir. Le fruit et l'acidité sont là avec de beaux tannins charnus...à revoir, dans 5-7 ans.

A blend of four different vineyards, this wine is aged in oak for 16 months. Tobacco, pepper and spice on the nose. The plate is full bodied and round. Plenty of brooding dark berry fruit and a touch of vanilla. Long, long finish. Great ten quid bottle.

Tasted during a WA event "a matter of taste" walk about, so no tasting notes, only occasional impressions. Nice Malbec, good volume but balanced, fresh. Medium finish. Dont see the 96 WA points here either.

1/26/2023 - Mark1npt Likes this wine: 95 points

Double decanted by Ken before tonight's tasting.....graphite, rich, perfumed, incense laden fruit. Resolved tannins and quite balanced at this age. Just a great wine, very confusing to the group. Herbal but not green.....Cab Franc-ish but not really. A very nice malbec and MY personal 2nd WOTN tied with the Calon....what I especially liked about it is at this age and stage is it wasn't a big pow(!), in your face green stemmy malbec. It has all the elements, but in a resolved, integrated complex profile. This is a beautiful rendition of this varietal, right now. Thanks so much for bringing this bottle, Ken!

Addendum: after another 15+ hours in the bottle under cork, no gas, no vacuum this was re-tasted with a late lunch of cheese and salami left from last night. The wine has devolved quite a bit over this time. Everything that was so in balance last night is now out, with brown notes on the nose and palate dominating and there is a faint green stemmy note lifting out as well. Some like these in abundance in their malbecs, but I prefer the beautiful balance this displayed last night. Maybe an 89-90 now?

Retailer tasting. The wine showed ripe red and dark fruit, some chocolate, mild spice, some coffee and some vanilla on the nose and palate, with fresh acidity, smooth tannin and superb length. Medium-bodied, smooth and very balanced - liquid happiness! Technically, the wine would benefit from more concentration from the middle through the end, but hey, this is all about drinking pleasure.

New-world: Guessed this to be either a South American Cab or an Oz Shiraz. Very deep colour, inky black and purple fruit that was rather monolithic. Dense and full-bodied, I dislike such concentration in wines but this will appeal to others.

This vibes so hard. I have tears missing Argentina. Dark fruits and stemmy deep core with leather and silk. Dark fruits and an electric spine. Beautiful and correct.

Gang of 4 in Covid19 times; cheap vs more expensive (@ RW): Intense and complex bouquet with dark berries and vanilla. Same on the palate, firm acidity and tannin. Good bitterness.

Black currant, liqourice, smooth and I get some heat as well but that is probably me (hangover). Very concentrated. Has a lot of life ahead of it.

Coming back to it later. Feels more harmonious now. Or is this the alcohole speaking? A well made wine. But maybe not top QPR. Could be later though. 91-92.

3rd wine of the night. This Cabernet Malbec blend is amazing. The Cabernet takes the bright fruits of the Malbec and adds a good amount of complexity. Smooth finish.

Day 1: Always like this producer and their base bottling usually delivers. This so far does not. Manufactured taste with ripe fruit, black licorice and spices. Not balanced at all. Very disappointing on a wine normally reliable. NOT recommended. 84 points
Day 2: A bit thin and lacks complexity. This tastes like a cheap wine and very disappointed as it used to be a go to Malbec. Maybe the vintage but this is poorly made. 84 points
Day 3: Sadly this wine is a former favorite but this vintage is terrible. Sweet and lacks complexity. Wondering if 2018 is a bad vintage or this winery is slipping on their lower end offerings. 82 points
Day 4: Smoke, sweet fruits but lacks acidity. A bit better than day 3. 83 points
Recommedation: Don't purchase.

Gorgeous rich concentrated blackberry and blackcurrant fruit but at the same time this has a refined elegant poise. Good acidity, refined tannins and oak. Moderately long finish, fairly straight forward. Drink now and through next 10 years.

At Pappa’s Houston Downtown. First off, amazingly beautiful label. Big bold but smooth, this throws off bunches of dark berries and rich vanilla, with an impeccably smooth finish that really rounded this out for me. More than held it’s weight against medium-rare rib-eye. A masterpiece.

Quickly decanted but this needed a good hour + to open. Dark fruit, some oak with moderate acidity and mild sweetness on the finish. The tannins softened after two hours suggesting this wine needs a few more years or a 2-3 hour decant.

Hard to rate ….way too young to open …just did it to try and gauge the quality. Very think…black ink color . After 2 hours in the glass it shows a little . Cherry, tart strawberry, blueberry, bleach, tar, long finish and soft tannins. Will buy more and age at least 10. Mid nineties points seem justified…just way too young to drink.

We certainly enjoyed this wine, but quite frankly it is not worth the price point. At its price point there needs to be a WOW factor. Although enjoyable, it lacked the WOW factor that a wine of its price point demands.
