  Decanted 2 hours. A pretty good wine. Typical Malbec nose and palate. Still pretty young but already fun to drink. 92+ pts. at the moment.

  Wow! Super win, New World generosity but not overdone. Quite rich ripe and sweet damson and blackberry fruit. There are also notes of pepper and spice which provide an interesting finish. Nice balance with structure of medium+ acidity and grippy tannins balancing the fruit. Persistent and some complexity. Drink now and over the next 10 years.

  Terrific - well balanced fruit and acid, oak comes through well and occasionally slightly dominant. Deep and delicious. I may wait a little to see how the second bottle develops.

  Decanted 3 hours. Young but already pretty approachable after a few hours in the decanter. This will only get better with more age. 92+ pts. at the moment.

  Beautiful voluptuous body, deeply layered. Lots of ripe red berries, some ripe plum, oak. Give it another 5 years and it will be beautiful.
