If you have a cellar this is the reason why. This wine has turned into a stunner. Powerful but complex. As smooth as it gets. Amazing. Not drinking now would be a crime.

Medium ruby with significant fading at the rim
Austere. Oak dominant. Tertiary notes beginning. Other Malbecs are more elegant, this is more in the meat / sweat aromatics.
Tannins are quite chalky with powerful acidity that fades quickly leaving an overwhelming presence of alcohol on the finish.
Flavours of Sweat, earth, milk chocolate. Mint. Good length
Past peak. Drink up.

Lovely mature nose and perfectly balanced body. Food mature fruit with secondary noter of figs and tobacco. Smooth, balanced and very enjoyable.
