Home alone with an itching for a glass of wine decided to try this magnum with my coravin, was not expecting much and boy was I surprised. Absolutely loved it, reminded me of when I first tried Malbec many, many years ago before it got popular here. That's when you could get a very good bottle for less than $10 but the liquor stores weren't making a lot at this price point so hard to find consistently. Even this bottle I got at auction for short money with no expectation on my part that it would anything special.

Stumbled upon the bottle in the cellar without even realizing that it was there. The nose was filled with dark fruits but the palette didn't have the same punch. The finish framed by soft tannin was decent. Maybe it's over the hill - should have "found" it a few years earlier.

4.5 One of my all time favorite Malbecs from Argentina. Smooth, rich, oaky with black cherry hints
Just tried another bottle 2/16/19... still just as good- bold, smooth, long finish... maybe more dark fruit flavors and a little leather.... ????????????

Very good, better than I was expecting. It was a 3.0 L so that might explain a bit why it has held up so well. Good immediately upon opening, but not surprisingly it opened up to more complexity and flavour after about 90 minutes.
