September 14, 2017 - 62/21/8/5/4 Malbec/Cabernet/Petit Verdot/Cab Franc/Merlot. Medium plus nose shows black plum, violets, mocha, baking spice, dark earth. Palate shows similar notes, blackberry, baking spice, cassis, nice layers of complexity, coffee grounds in there. Medium plus tannins, alcohol, body, and finish. Nice modern profile.

February 18, 2017 - Argentinian Reds (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 64% Malbec, 18% C.S., 11% Merlot, 5% C.F., & 2% Petit Verdot
N: Closed/muted; berries atop smoke & earth?
P: Med, poss LM, body; Nice frt met by some mid palate pucker, which turns VERY slightly astringent by the long finish. I'd give this elegant, balanced style 6 mos or so, then drink thru '20 min.
94 pts ea Tim Atkin & Decanter, 91 WE, 90 Vinous, & it looks like a 90 or 92 from WA
Awards:
Decanter World Wine Awards, 2016: Silver

[It looks like this vendor's $33.95 is as competitive as any.] -
