May 8, 2023 - Curious to see how Malbec aged. Deep colour. Initially smooth and refined but there seemed no added complexity or development with age. Then developed a slightly bitter aftertaste which although full of flavour was not that attractive. The vintage seems to have less power and depth than others which will influence the drinking window.There seems reasons to believe that the Malbec grape does not age that well. Drink now.
