(Melipal Malbec Reserve, Mendoza) This rich red offers aromas of tar, black earth, violets, cherry, rhubarb, black tea leaves, and vanilla. Smooth, round, and soft, it is balanced by gentle, tea-like oak tannins that persist on a long, expressive finish. Special Report: Argentina

Drinks very nice, now almost 10 years out...Smooth, and med+ bodied with dark cherry fruit. What distracts me is the oak. It is strong and I didn't want to try try more after 1-2 glasses...that is my palate...
Great match to complex fare, but for 40$ CAN - not sure if worth price.

Great wine and worth its money. Drink 2013-2016, perhaps even longer.

Very smooth and round. Blackberry, plums and oak have all integrated. The acid has emerged enough that this was terrific with pasta, but the next bottle will be paired with steak! Pop and pour.

Opened 2 hours before pouring. Maturity has smoothed out any sharpness and this has become a lovely wine with plenty of dark fruit and spice. I'm not particularly a malbec fan but I enjoyed this a lot.

As time passed this wine has improved incredibly. Its tannins ate very round, it gained structure and complexity. It is now a great Wine. Too bad its the last bottle I brought from the winery...
