March 29, 2011 - Spicy Malbec from Argentina. Slightly acidic with sour undertones. Finish lingers with pepper and anise. Not one oft favorite Malbec.
March 10, 2011 - (13.5%) Berry, briar oaky nose with slight basil notes. Nice silky, smooth mouthfeel. Medium bodied with plum and berry fruit this one has a tinge of green on the back of the palate. Tart but creamy raspberry with hits of spice on the finish.
December 25, 2010 - Gift from louis for Christmas
December 3, 2010 - Had at the Blue Note in NYC when listening to John Scofield. This was a $9/glass with a $2 tip. It lists for about $9/bottle through wine-searcher, so even more than the usual mark-up, but probably not unusual for a music club. The wine was pleasant and it paired well with the music (!). There is a modest spice, but overall this is not an outstanding Malbec. I think the main sense that I had was that there was not the depth or the balance that seems to come out from the better Malbecs. The taste was certainly pleasant -- a bit stronger on the fruit side and the nice pepper flavor comes along, but its not quite in the order or the balance that I would ideally like. Still, this would be fine as a gift wine or with BBQ. Just not one that I would view as a really high end Malbec.
November 15, 2010 - Aromas of blackberries, plums, and green peppers. Palate is very spicy and rich, with notes of anise, berries, and a nice creamy undertone. The finish is nice and deep with a warm fig notes. Great value at price point.
