Decent especially for the low price. No real bite, fairly smooth with residual tannins. Some dark fruits with maybe a hint of leather. Finish lingers and the tannin builds a bit as the glass empties. I think others have rated too high, but I've had some amazing malbecs, so a bit biased.

Not sure how this is a 90 pt wine on one of the popular wine review sites...decent, and fine - esp considering low price. Nose is dark stewed fruit/prune and is there a petrol quality?? Palate is med+bodied and similar with dark/mocha/fruit notes. Tannin and acid are light+ and does come off smooth'ish. Finish is a bit bitter also Almost a hair off-dry that is tamed when served a touch cool...
Not sure i want to put more in cellar at this point - but maybe give the 2011 a try?
