Nice nose. Entry is sweet and a bit thin weight although strong flavours of blackberry and Blueberry. Lack of mid mouth and then a leathery, wooden drying finish. Just drying without a lot of finish complexity. I think it is not grape tannin but just wood left. Perhaps typical of a not so elegant overly aged Malbec. Not enough experience to know. Fine, but I keep the drinking date at a year ago and best not to rate it. Far from the wine of my 2012 note.

Quite fruity entry with a clean finish. Watery and weak mid mouth. A bit of tannins left and a nice acidity remains but definately on its last leg. Drink up now.

Grape juice nose. Rich entry, nice weight to the mouth. A bit chalky mid mouth with rich and tasty sweet fruit. Tannins just a touch green perhaps. Nice bottle. Likely just a couple of years left.

Lovely nose on opening; sweet fruit with a bit of wood. Great entry and very savoury, tasty mid-mouth. Dies quickly. Finish is lacking depth or strength. Pure pleasure score.

Brooding wine. Deep color in the glass. Plums and dark berries on the nose with some animal forest and oak mixed in. Very intriguing nose followed up by slight tannins, and enough acidity to make this good with food and also last a few years. I thought I detected a slight alcoholic note, but I may be mixing this up with some other out of balance element as the label reads 13.5%.
