Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of smoke, tobacco, plum, cassis and black cherries. Flavors of currants, plums, black raspberries and black cherries. Medium acidity, firm tannin, full bodied. Drink with air or hold.

This was in a great place right now. Popped and poured with Mexican food. Pretty nose of black fruits and flowers. The wine is medium to full bodied, and is very well integrated with for a Malbec a fairly refined silky character. Ripe black currant, cocoa, tobacco weed and spice on the palate with a medium length finish. The high alcohol (15.1%) was well integrated and frankly was helpful in standing up to the rich and sometimes spicy Mexican food.

Hardly showing any age at all. This starts with a lovely enveloping nose of spring flowers, red fruit and chocolate. The palate is structured, full bodied but approachable and this didn’t really need much in the way of decanting. The palate is packed with and black fruit, chocolate, tobacco and a touch of spice. There is a tad of alcoholic heat and the finish is a little short however. Overall an impressive effort and will be interesting to see how and if it evolves.

Definitely a hedonistic wine drinking quite nicely now if you enjoy this style. First night I’d had given a 93-94 but it faded considerably the second night.
