  November 24, 2012 - A nose of some funk and fruit, dark purple in color. A medium bodied Malbec, with black cherry, pepper, a bit rough in spots, average at best.

  August 10, 2012 - The nose: pickled cucumbers, ginger, granulated black tea, cassis. The taste is full and strong, more pleasant then aroma, with notes of slate pencil.

• schimmy23 Does not like this wine:

  January 6, 2012 - Tasted like it was past its prime, but perhaps (based on other tasting notes) I should have decanted longer. Minimal nose, harsh finish and not much in between.

  January 2, 2012 - Purple-ruby, slow moving legs. Medium developing vegetal nose, spicy note, dark red fruits, alcohol. Off-dry, medium acidity, high alcohol, low tannins, a warm wine with aromas of brambles, dark cherries, not much else going on . Not very well structured, balanced. Medium(-) body, and medium(-) finish with chalky tannins, drops off. Fruit-driven simple wine, to be enjoyed when young.

  December 19, 2011 - C: Bright, but opaque, plum
  N: Barnyard funk, earth, dark black fruits
  P: black currant, hint of vanilla and tobacco
  F: medium+
  
  On the pnp, this was an astringent mess. Very rough. But with a couple of hours of air, it smoothed out and became a nice wine. If this was a little less pricy (paid $15), it would be a nice buy. At $15, I might re-buy, but not much.
