Significant bottle variation on this one. This second one in the same night was disjoint and unbalanced. Fruit was a bit down. It was rough around the edges. I tried to detect if there was a flaw with the bottle, but it wasn't corked nor had the cork failed that I could detect.

Significant bottle variation on this one. This first one was excellent with great mouth fell and lovely secondary notes. Terrific with a nice steak and coming into its own.

- Brick color - Classic malbec. Very smooth with herbal overtones. Deep inky color with spicy nose and very nice finish. Medium bodied and right at its peak. Distinct oak flavor, but complemented rather than overpowered the concentrated fruit. Drank over an hour and continued to open up and evolve. Very nice wine, but no wow.

Oaky, with fantastic blueberry jam fruit, modest vanillin and still strong tannins.
