Extraordinarily young; tastes like a 5 year old. Bright and intensely cherry fruity. Good acidity. Promising, though.

Revisitando esta safra quase 2 anos depois. Malbec 100% com 13 meses de estágio em barricas novas de carvalho francês. 14% abv. Na taça um rubi escuro e profundo com brilho médio e algum halo atijolado. Aromas de fruta mista, mais licorosa que madura, torrefação, canela, chão de bosque. Em boca um vinho com algum volume e intensidade, mas sobretudo sutil, com muitas notas terciárias, taninos sedosos, acidez bem preservada, bom corpo e final longo, acrescentando um certo chocolate. Possivelmente no topo da curva.

Past prime by 2/3 years, soft and silky tannins, still a beautiful wine.
Drink 2 years ago..

Molti presagi al naso di frutta rossa, viola e amarena.
In bocca è potente, opulento. Fumo di legna bruciata, una punta di tabacco e cioccolato. Con la cena però ho faticato a berlo. diventava tutto troppo ridondante. Ho finito la bottiglia davanti alla tv in 3 ore quasi da solo.
Per questo motivo dico che è un grane vino da meditazione. Meno da pasto.Nel corso delle 3 ore poi si è ammorbidito quasi "addolcito".
Per me ha ancora un sacco di anni davanti e sarà pronto tra 1 anno.
