Not bad. Needed some air to show well. A bit more oak than I like, but not overdone. The fruit started out a little bitter, but improved, though was lacking depth and seemed a bit hollow. I think this is a well-made wine but perhaps the fruit is of lower quality.

Thought this tasted delicious - as would be expected with a Malbec a small sip upon opening showed it to be very tight and dry. It started opening up within 5 minutes and after waiting 45 it was very drinkable. While this never got sweet, it did get very fruity. I liked the flavor a lot but it lacked the depth that could have made it truly special.

Notes of overripe blueberry and plum ride on an equal split of acidity and dryness. It paired well enough with some oven baked ribs. It's not a bad Malbec per se, I just probably won't purchase again. It needs to open up a while, and could probably benefit from another few months rest.

Quite nice. Gobs of fruit with spice and licorice. Nice meaty finish too.

Lots of fulsome flavor. Need to open a bit, bit once it did, this was an excellent malbec.
