January 6, 2023 - One of the better Malbec's that I've had in some time. Big and powerful with a fruity nose and a deep garnet color. Several family members agree with this description.

December 7, 2021 - Pop and pour. Very drinkable, medium-bodied Malbec with no rough edges.

June 20, 2020 - Mature red and dark berries, herbs and spices on the bouque and palate. Good contration and depth. You just feel the well integrated oak on the nose and palate. Medium+ acid and tannins. Good balance and complexity. Long lenght. A bit closed and polished Cahors.

July 26, 2019 - 100% Malbec (from the 3rd & 4thterrace and the plateau). Aged 18 months in 50% new, 50% single use French oak.
Decanted.
Scented with above moderate notes of dark cherry, blueberry, cheese danish, vanilla, cocoa, spice, crushed rock, meat and a lingering floral component.
The palate showcases precise-focused acidity, fine tannins, and above moderate concentration. Flavors show the blend of fruits; dark cherry, blueberry, marionberry, dark chocolate, brioche, baking spice, violets, no. 2 pencil, grilled meats and earth. The finish fades slowly.
This will show best with food!
