Day 1: Full of flavor. Not a lot of nose. Day 2: A cornucopia of senses attacked. A swirl and a sniff said YES! As I said in a previous note, 9 years in the bottle has had no effect. As good now as the day I bought it at the winery in 2008.

Still a pretty good nose of black fruit with hints of mushroom and roasted steak. Similar flavors are decent but just a bit flabby. Probably just at the start of the downhill slide, but still very enjoyable.

Drank over two nights; great nose of blackberry, forest floor and mushrooms, especially on the first night, a bit more muted on the second night. The palate didn't quite live up to the nose though - pleasent enough, smooth, but lacking structure. 4+13++15+7

Even at 4 years past it's prime, the flavor has held up for the most part. Not quite the punch, but nonetheless a nice malbec.

Deep Purple in Color. Clear Clarity. Nice nose, good Maleck is hard to find. Smooth. Lone Finish. 'A Keeper'.
