Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 18, 2020 - shared with pat at selkirk manor to celebrate the completion of another week of sip in place due to covid-19. i continue to pull bottles from the cellar with past due drink by dates. this wine proved to be in sound condition. i agree with the accolades offered by the last three member tasting notes. this wine is head and shoulders above any malbec which i have ever had from any terroir. it truly shows its pedigree proudly. generous nose leaps from the glass. in the mouth it presents as an iron fist in a velvet glove. it glides effortlessly across the palate. lingering finish. the wine fills the mouth generously but, at the same time, offers delicate fruit aromas. elements of sweetness balance the acidity. overall, an amazing tasting experience. i look forward to doing a vertical with the 2005 in two years time.
