  Old 2011 notes. Complex for malbec with lasting finish, maybe not as good a Cueva Malbec. My price at $15 was high compared to community. Would be a definite repeat at $12.

  Drank side by side with a 2011. This wine was similar in color to the deep purple of 2011, with a little browning out around the edges that I would attribute to age. The wine had a nice mellowed nose of berries and dark fruit. On the palate the tannins were much less harsh than the 2011, and the wine still kept the fruit forward. That being said I would say that this wine does not have much left in the way of aging; I would recommend drinking soon. Hopefully, this is where the 2011 is heading after a few years of age. Great QPR.

  Opened and tried immediately. It was pleasant if simple. Then drank with veggie chili, eggplant tapanade and cheese. Held up really well with the spiciness.

  Has run its course. Tangy and sharp where it used to be fruity and smooth.
