  This is past its prime, but drinkable. Smells of sweet blackberry, spice and flowers. Medium-bodied, this is showing hints of oxidation on the palate. The cork broke in two, so perhaps other bottles will be better.

  Still a nice amount of fruit and good balance. Stone fruits, soft tannins and mineral notes. Big wine that held up nicely and might be past it's prime but drinking well nonetheless.

  It was a wonderful wine...rich and nice tannins, beautiful nose. Ate with steak and it was better than the steak!

  Fantastic bottle of Malbec. Rich and racy without any rough edges. Not for fans of acid. This is a hedonistic bottle of wine that smelled great and tasted better! The turkey loved it!!

  Much better than my last bottle which must have suffered from shock. This one's more settled altogether. The cocky youthful exuberance is of course long gone, but the charms of the middle age are today much more evident. Medium bodied, some red fruits, a hint of spice, good acidity. And, crucially, in harmony with itself. Drink now
