Very extracted color with an opaque violet hue. Leaping from the glass are stimulating aromas of juicy black cherry, dried currants, flint, wildflowers and dark chocolate. The palate is precisely balanced for such an exuberant wine, with nicely textured black fruit notes supported by a firm backbone of acidity and plush tannic structure. An insanely serious wine.

Oh my is this gorgeous. Pure and lush, with a beautiful, ebullient bouqet that had me guessing Zin. The plump, bright palate feels more noble though, its broad blueberry velvet and its luxardo cherry density are lifted with open-armed spice, spearmint, and floral notes. The tannins more polished than the moderately sandy ones you sometimes find in Argentinian versions. Youth looks good on this. Drink now - 2026.

Wow. This is a special wine. A great experience. A Cabernet lovers Malbec. Evolved over 2-3 hours. Rich and Bold all while being a Malbec. Very smooth on the finish. Worth the hype IMO.

Quite outstanding. Very new world being highly extracted with lush fruit already showing but tannin and structure to warrant aging. Bought a glass for $90 and glad I did though probably won't again. Can see why it got double 100 point scores but certainly not a bargain wine.

Other posters were spot on that the price for this wine is not justified. Having some of the best Malbec wines out of Argentina, this wine does not come close to wines at 1/2 the price. This winemaker was trained in Mendoza, so I was hopeful that his interpretation of a Malbec from Cali would be enjoyable and memorable. I was disappointed. Prunes and milk chocolate flavors were muddled with a dense tannin base. Will stick to his cab's....
