May 23, 2021 - Even better than last week's bottle. Very well made and now just entering its maturity platfom although this wine has been a pleasure to drink ever since its release. Nice whiff of exotic pepper and spices in an ocean of velvety, sensual, ripe Malbec. Perfectly integrated oak, plum, tobacco, chocolat, juicy beef. Well framed and balanced with good freshness. Close your eyes and imagine yourself enjoying this wine with a well seasoned Argentinian entrecote on the terrace of a comfy lodge in the foothills of the Andes mountains...

May 8, 2016 - One of the best argentinian Malbec cab blends that I have tasted. Dark, opaque color. Ruby red color out to the rim. Aroma of black berries from the Cabernet and spice from the Malbec. Delicious, rich taste creamy chocolate adds complexity to the berry flavors. A long sweet finish even at 15.8. Accessible now but has the stuffing to go another decade.
