The additional time has been kind to this bargain Malbec. And speaking of bargains, I picked this up for $8.25. If I had known how it was going to turn out I would have bought a case. I'm not saying it's the wine of the century, but it's certainly performing beyond its price point. Everything has integrated nicely and it's a nice drink of wine right now.

It's been close to a year since we last tried this, and it's another good assessment. The additional age has softened the edges just a touch, but it still has a nice spicy zest. A fantastic buy at $8.25.

I've had a bit of a roller coaster with this wine. Upon first trying it months ago, I adored it. The 2010 vintage then became a bit hard for me to find until stumbling upon 4 bottles at a local store, which I snatched up. The first came across as unexpectedly uninspiring, seemingly constrained mostly to cherry and smoke. The second bottle I opened totally brought me back.
Nose of spiced black cherry jam, smoked salmon, and white pepper. Very nice transitioning palate starting with caramelized cherry and spices moving to a great mid palate of cigar box with a touch of vanilla. Lingering yet attractive tannins and a solid finish.
My 89 is perhaps a bit reflective of my slight apprehension based on the experience as a whole, but when it's on this wine is surely a 90 pointer.

The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Slow.
It smells like blackberry.
It tastes like Dark cherry with a hint of black Pepper and Clove.
The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Angular texture finishing with a lot of tannin. Pairs well with steak, dark chocolate and Graeter's black raspberry chip ice cream.
