  October 5, 2019 - Average everyday wine. Hits in the back of the mouth. Earthy taste. Blackberry and plum. Definitely better after sitting out for one or two hours. Little left over flavor.

  March 4, 2019 - Definitely worth the wait to allow to air for the price. I have no problem with that.

  October 22, 2016 - Sat, 10/22/16, $2 Tasting (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: Smoke with notes of jam; Pyrazines underneath?
  
  P: Med, poss LM, body; Swtish fruit on entry, but then the structure kicks in. Lacking somewhat in intensity. Lingering, somewhat astringent finish. Decent, though with more fruit would be OUTSTANDING @ this vendor's $8.95 price.

  September 8, 2016 - We had this at Arroyo wine bar in Telluride, found it back home for $11.99. At Arroyo, we really liked it - was opened up and fruit forward, but dry and a drink now.
  We tried a bottle at home, decanted, too tight!
  Left the second half overnight and what a difference! Just like Telluride.
  This wine needs LOTS of air, either open it the night before or better yet, lay it down for a year.
  This is an everyday bargain-priced Malbec that delivers beyond its price- not timid, better than medium-bodied, a click short of robust but needs LOTS of air to get to that point
