  Very good Malbec representative of its location. This is still in great shape, easy can drink for 4/5 yrs as it is still full power attack! But with elegance, and decent freshness. If not for the Malbec definition, this somehow reminded a bit of the Supertuscan, at least for freshness, density and power/alcohol. Unfortunately I have a bit of a blocked nose tonight so will try again when feeling better

  Dense blackberry and black raspberry. Rich, structured, balanced, with grippy tannins. Somewhat oaky. It's got everything except flavor complexity. Quite tasty in the rich-fruited style. Based on this bottle it has years to go.

  Nez : toasté, caoutchouc, baies noirs et rouges, cuir ainsi que des notes de fines herbes. Saveurs multi-étagées de cassis, cerises noirs et griottes... Les tannins sont fins. Ample, rond et souple. Harmonieux et prêt à boire. Longue finale...sur les épices. 94+

  Still a nearly impenetrable black/purple color. The nose is loaded with creosote and hot gravel after a summer rain. Medium-full bodied and extremely dense and concentrated. Loaded with high quality tannin and refreshing acidity. This is a perfect example of the style of high altitude, Mendozian wine. Concentrated but never heavy or lacking freshness. That said, this lacks something and is a bit overly tight. Drink now-2022+ (I think near term is better for the fruit and aromatics). 91
