I'm hoping this was a problem with shipping. Two bottles, each from different OWCs. Tasted very medicinal/artificial and did not really evolve in the glass at all. I've had Y from MANY vintages, and this is not like the wine I know at all.

"I must confess that I hadn't realized that this wine was over 15º, I just saw "Malbec" and even if I know that Salta climate is plenty of sunlight, I thought it would be more "French". Definitely, I don't like high alcohol reds, I get easily drunk in a bad way and my mouth gets too hot... Not for me, sorry, even with such impressive nose full of berries and mature, delicious scents..."
Well, I've left my first note, when I rated this wine only 86 points. But I had a second bottle. Drank it. Enjoyed it a lot! Taste is so subjective. This time the high alcohol didn't bother me (I barely noticed it, actually). What a great wine. I'll have to reconsider all my prejudices (based on my own drinking experience) against reds over 15º...

BlackBerry, chocolate. Nose like a mature East Bank mature Bordeaux. Balanced and youthful.
