  Garnet. Blueberry. Blackberry. A whiff of cinnamon. Comparisons to compote are right on the money. Tannins soft as a baby's buttocks.

  Last of the 2011...and more’s the pity! Wow, this has really matured. Knit together nicely with tannins soft and velvet-like. Inky dark with brooding blue fruit (not young fruit, but compote... blueberry pie that dried on the plate and intensified in flavor). Leather, earth and rich graphite minerality. Mouth coating mid-palate with a lovely long finish... it’s been a while since I’ve had a really exceptional single vineyard Malbec... and I’ve missed it!

  Just OK. Sort of old world, some eucalyptus, not really our thing.

  For a long time I've had a hard time loving Malbec, just haven't detected interesting features in this moderate price range ($30-60) although a much higher end one was great. But this was excellent; a really nice mix of fruit and cocoa and oak while still retaining a smooth elegance. Wish I bought a few and not just the one. Great now and probably for a few more years at least.

  A fantastic Malbec: highly complex, layered, powerful, and balanced. Has a long life ahead.
