May 25, 2018 - 70% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Franc.
15% alcohol.
Deeply dark garnet in colour.
Cassis and tobacco on the full nose.
Lovely violet perfume along with raspberry fruit with spices and vanilla on this generously bodied wine.
Beautifully integrated tannins, along with a gentle sweetness.
Really rather good. -

October 16, 2016 - Same as before. Big, bold, oaky, thick, earthy, but fragrant with lots of dark fruits. Very delicious and flavorful. Now it's time to drink.

April 12, 2016 - Very deep almost opaque purple color. Dusty, earthy notes of mushroom coming through on the nose. Milky, chocolaty, oaky as well. Medium plus bodied wine but not really thick. Rich full flavor with soft silky tannins. Oaky, balsamic, mushroomy, buttery, chocolaty palate with dark fruit notes, Fairly long finish with oak, butter, mushroom. A very delicious wine with character. Almost no need to decant. Pop, pour and enjoy. 92+/100 Could be 93.

May 14, 2015 - Interesting wine. The cab franc gives it a different touch and though I thought 30% would not show much it was actually a little over the malbec at start. The acidity is huge but the oak is moderate making it a wine not appropriate for churrasco (SA barbecue). Shows well with 20 minutes decant but starts to fade away if you are drinking slowly. Could improve with 2 years more of cellar.
