This was better than the Airfield of the same year. Nice plumpness and great minerality, underscored by quality oak, delineated by excellent acidity. Good mouth puckering Malbec finish. Could have been in Cahors here.

very dark garnet/purple, inky, impenetrable. intense nose, ripe dark fruits, violet and cigar, chocolate, pine, vanilla. fully bodied, high concentration, well mellowed, savoury mocha, very balanced and smooth texture, complex, grand structure, long finish with cedar and subtle spices, herbal, mint notes.
cult winery, low yield, a really big wine. MC 5 stars
Very dark. All malbec. Great silky texture. Dark fruit. A little vanilla and spice. Odd plastic note but not bad. Long finish with a touch of alcohol. Nice.
