Juice seemed flat and not at all how I recalled it to be. Could be the bottle, or perhaps simply the wine itself. Feedback from the table seemed to concur. Tannins are still present, simply lacked flavor and for a Malbec without any fruit flavor, simply disappointing.

Popped, poured 2 glasses to breathe. Amazing vigorous bouquet -- you can smell cherry and floral notes 3 feet from the glass. Primary morello cherry flavor on the palate at first, that mellowed with air, with a touch of spice after 45 minutes or so. Enjoyable wine, yet it's obviously not integrated yet. Too bad that was my only bottle; I would love to see where this ends up in 5-10 years. Drink now if you like fruit-forward, hold otherwise.

Surprisingly good. Dark and brooding with zippy tannins and a prominent dark cherry element. This is a full bodied and tannic monster yet not over extracted or off putting in any way. Seems to have years of life expectancy.

Decanted and swirled, however, this wine needs an hour to fully open. Wonderful Malbec which is hard to find. Great fruit and good tannic structure.
