Color: Deep Garnet Nose: Plum, vanilla, cigar box Taste: vanilla, plum, fig Finish: Snooth Tannins with a nice alsmost smokey finish
Wow! it has been 12 years since I tasted this bottle - and it has come a long way. The oak is integrated and botes of cocoa, spice and cigar box are secondary to the plun and fig. A nice lingering finish. Wish I had more of these.....who knew it would take more than 15 years to arrive?
This is in a sweet spot right now = it could probably go another 3-5 years.

Quite nice. Smooth, still decent fruit. Several other people who tried it thought that it was one of the best Malbecs they had ever had - perhaps because it had aged for 10 years!

- Brick color with medium forming legs and aromas of dusty and walnut. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry, fig and cedar with a medium/full body. Narrow texture with a long finish - Bought in 2009 in Buenos Aires, 1st bottle opened in 2012. Lots of fruits, fig and berries. Woods, like dust in carpentry. I liked a lot. After some time in decanter nuts in aroma.

Huge and young. Needs at least a couple of years.
