This 10 year old version is now earthy, woodsy, with some charred notes and pruney-cassis fruit ... It's old, mainly tertiary and layered, but for an $8 wine it still shows pretty well. As it opens there is more dried cherry and strawberry with balsamic while liquid wood notes creep in; and the wood continues to dominate the longer it stays in glass - it was good for about 45-60 minutes, after that it collapsed into a woody mess.

Someone brought this to my house during a party. Had it with home made pizza. Very nice, felt 'big', pepper, and seems kinda high alcohol (although I don't know that for sure). Second day it mellowed out a little. I honestly think this could take some age if you were so inclined.

Excellent budget malbec. Full-bodied and smooth. Doesn't touch FF's Expresiones series, but a big improvement over what FF used to do at this price point.
