Friday, January 22, 2016 - Appearance: Clear wine with a deep garnet colour.

Nose: Clean nose with a pronounced intensity. This wine is developing.

What a pleasure to smell this evolving wine. Dried black forest fruits over a collection of spices; nutmeg, vanilla, pepper.. just lovely. There is a long note of dark chocolate rounding into supple leather. Beautiful.

As with the nose; this wine is in a great place. Lots of dried fruits, spice and chocolate on the palate with silky smooth tannins and a great intensity of flavour. The finish is significant and pleasant. What a wonderful "Old World" expression of Malbec!

Excellent quality Malbec from Mendoz, Argentina. I think this wine is currently at the height of it's powers and won't benefit from further ageing. At 17 euros a bottle, outstanding QPR!
