Wow, still really powerful at this age. Deep red in color with minimal bricking but an amazing amount of sediment. Nose has menthol and pepper with a explosive earthiness and a pop in the end of blackberry. Full mouthfeel with lots of black fruit and tar with well integrated tannins. A hint of limestone comes on late palate and tannins show up just in the end. The finish has a hint of cigar box and trails in a long rasiny finish. In a good place right now.

BIG and BOLD. Lovely and true to the wonderful Malbec varietal. Mature, cocoa, deep rich blackberry.

I love malbec and thought this aged nicely. Big flavor. Tasted of chocolate, smoke and light berry.

Very distinct Malbec flavors. Good but not great. No Decanting.
