  July 25, 2020 - About 20 minute decant. Medium-low intensity nose of ripe dark berry fruit and some chocolate. The palate is also dark, ripe and juicy with a little cherry cola, spice and vanilla. It’s modern and high in alcohol, but nothing over the top. Definitely feels more Lujan de Cuyo than Uco Valley Malbec although some of the grapes are also sourced from the Uco Valley at higher elevation too. It’s a rather standard Malbec despite it being more of a boutique wine with an offbeat label that might attract some drinkers but turn off others. It's a little fresher and more balanced than most at this price point though. This is just Matias Riccitelli’s entry level wine and it doesn’t see much time in oak. Compared to the French Malbec I just had, this is definitely more modern and riper without the savory notes and higher acid of the French Malbec.

  March 11, 2020 - An extremely tasty fruit-forward Malbec. Sure, the wine label is rather tongue-in-cheek, but it belies the quality that is in the bottle. A very worthy pop and pour.
