  A great Malbec that continues to evolve nicely. Notes similar to my last tasting in 2022. This wine is highly extracted with bold dark fruit, well balanced with velvety mouthfeel and long finish.

  Mimics the 2005. Bursting from the glass. Fasten the seat belt before drinking. Velvet and power. Gigantic body. If Malbec could become even more complex this would be a constant 100 points candidate. Finish lasts for minutes.

  5 years since my last bottle… 30 min decant. Was an ok wine but nothing great before the meal arrived. Still a fairly dark garnet with a very thin translucent rim in the glass. Quite fresh on the nose and attack with plenty of dark berries. On the mid palate lacking a bit of concentration. Initially fully integrated tannins but with more air they become more prominent and somewhat drying.
  Once the steaks arrived this was just a perfect match though, and the wine continued strongly after dinner. There is good acidity and freshness but also this touch of sweetness joining the leather and dark fruits - I would have likely guessed old world styled Cali Cab (a la Monte Bello, Togni etc) mid 2000s blind.

  Deep ruby with modest garnet fading at the rim.
  
  Austere and quite attractive. Chocolate, vanilla, new leather and earth. Violet, Mediterranean herbs.
  
  Lovely mouthfeel. Delicate while maintaining a sense of presence. Smooth, resovled tannins, refreshing acidity and perfectly integrated alcohol.
  
  Palate brings forth the ripe black plum and blackberry that were missing from the nose. Chcolate, leather, tobacco leaf. Such wonderful integration.
  
  Excellent length with hints of mint
  
  Wonderful wine nearing peak.

  An excellent Malbec - very concentrated fruit with great balance, long finish. I don't think this wine has necessarily peaked yet.
