Took a while to open up, but once it did it was great. 2-3 hour decant needed.

Aged out nicely. Needed a bit of a decant to eliminate sediment and soften the tannins

Shared with my wine club at a Thai dinner. Not popular with the group. Expected more crispness.

I continue to like this wine. Light, but bold enough for food.

A nice balanced malbec. Not overpowering but clearly a malbec.

Bold flavors, but not too much tanins. Great value. Held up well in the fridge for a couple of days. I like this varietal.

Nice crisp sparkler. Used most of it for Champnge cocktails as an aperitif, but tasted a glass before mixing the drinks.

Beautiful deep malbec color. Well balanced, with rich fruit flavors. Drank very well after 3 hour decant.

Tasted past it's prime the first day (even after a 6 hour decant). Very earthy smell. Put it aside and tasted again teh next night and it was very good. Don't think it's going to last much longer.
