  July 15, 2022 - This wine is quite a bit more alive than anticipated—we're pleasantly surprised by it, and that much more appreciative of having a few '07s in the tank as well.
  
  Still a super dense coloring here with purplish ruby edges. Smells like graphite, plum, cassis, fennel, walnuts, bark, and dark chocolate. Medium body, acid, and finish, with flavors of plum and chocolate for days, along with cassis, black tea, walnuts, and strong minerality. Super solid and unsurprisingly great match for our prime NY strips tonight. 🤙

  April 20, 2018 - I wonder why this producer is not better known... definitely one of my favorites from Argentina! Great Malbec!

  January 30, 2016 - Bottom half of cork crumbled when removed but wine was wonderful. Two hour decant and consumed over another 90 minutes. Smooth on the palate, very chocolate and licorice notes, wonderful wine. 92 points.

  May 23, 2015 - Deep garnet. Clean, heady nose of stewed blueberries, eucalyptus, mint, and fresh pine. Fruit is so rich on the palate, almost gives the sensation of sweetness were it not for the coarse tannins that are very drying on the finish. Poured straight from bottle into solo cup and wine would have benefitted from decanting (it threw considerable sediment). This one really surprised me, lots of life left, could continue to age another 3+ years.

  September 30, 2014 - Born from a suitably mucky bottle, this wine had integrated the tannins and was scoring high notes of dark cherries and violets. The colour was deep in the body and bright on the rim for what is now a well-aged bottle. The bouquet is a heady one. This had colour and flavour and a luscious body and a reasonable finish. Unfortunately, the strength of the flavours on the palate (and the alcohol?) didn't leave a lot of space for secondary flavours of toast or tar that a well aged Malbec grows into. A solid headbanging wine however.
  
  ps Cork disintegrated with a screwpull. I note only because I have seen other reviewers comment on it.
