Barry Notes Likes this wine: 91 points
December 25, 2016 - PnP. Clear, deep dark purple. Nose of big, concentrated dark fruit. At first pour, sight funk and excess extraction which blew off in literally minutes. The change was dramatic. Super balanced/integrated, clean for a big wine, proper black fruit and correct Malbec taste. Ideal drinking window. Smooth and perfect with Bone-In Prime Rib Roast. Med to full body and med finish. No hint of harsh/bitterness, often found with lesser Malbec. Excellent drinking, nothing off. Good value, $17

We hit the timing right. Of course by the time I got to this, I'd already had a fair amount of sparklers and whites. Happy New Year.
