Still young but did not disappoint, especially following a 2005 Marquis Phillips S9. Consumed with Malbec lovers who had just returned from Mendoza, and they loved this wine after it had opened up a bit. (used an aerator) Needs decanting now, for sure. We'll let the bottles rest a couple of years. I was going to fetch a Norton and curiosity had me open this, instead. No regrets.

Delicious but young. Has some heat but solid structure on this wine.

This was opened for Thanksgiving and paired very well with the food. It was a nice combination of spice and flavor and is currently drinking well.
