When I purchased this in 2009, my tastes were very different. A monster as expected, big fruit and roasty flavors, still evident wood. Hot. (Just way too much damn alcohol.) Overwhelms food. Just not my jam anymore. (Though plenty of jam.) i feel like this has tons of life left, but honestly that’s just a guess since I never drink wines like this. (Open that bottle night, 2022)

This seemed to mellow since the last bottle. Notes are generally consistent in terms of fruit and secondaries but the wine is more approachable. Still big and bold but showing a softer side.

Dark berries, some cinnamon and vanilla on the finish. Subtle tannins and nice tertiary flavors .
Drinking beautifully

Needs time but this is already a monster big malbec. I'm saving the others for at least 3 more years. Huge!
