Happy to say I've been grabbing 6 bottles at a clip since 2007... If you like a big wine that socks you in the mouth as your drinking it, this is it. This wine drinks like a champ, on the nose, leather, tobacco, and a hint of black fruit. On the palate, it's so hard to narrow down other than to say it lasts a minute plus. Decanted for 3 hours before trying and still tastes young. I'd say on par with the 07 I tried. Good juice for the price!!

Huge QPR... Had this first a year ago at an upscale restaurant in our town and loved it... Just opened another 09 today... On the nose, green apple and petrol... More apple on the palate, and sweet sweet sweet... If your into sweet rieslings this is one to try... Impressive!!!

Nice purple color in the glass... nose is ripe fruit with a hint of floral... On the palate, fruity, maybe some strawberry.. lots of heat to work through, which suprised me after aeration and 2 hour decant... overall not worth what I paid for it, but an ok malbec... I think there would be better ones for less out there.
