Wasn’t sure how much life would be left in this wine, so I was positively surprised. Bouquet of dark berries and some black cherries. Good structure with still balancing acidity. Good old vine material show, how ageworty Malbec from Mendoza can be.

shared with pat at selkirk manor. as samuel clemens is known to have said, "the reports of my demise are highly exaggerated and entirely premature". this wine is alive and kicking despite the shorter longevity suggested by others. dark color reminiscent of blue/black ink. rich nose. lots of dark fruit including plum and black cherry. firm tannins. heavy sediment in last glass. this wine is still tight. needs another year or two to blossom. excellent value.

Underlying burnt Tupperware and raisins throughout bouquet and mid-pallette. The initial pallette gives you some hope as it shows some smoke (the good kind) and toasted vanilla. But not enough hope.
