May 31, 2022 - Very extracted color with an opaque violet hue. Leaping from the glass are stimulating aromas of juicy black cherry, dried currants, flint, wildflowers and dark chocolate. The palate is precisely balanced for such an exuberant wine, with nicely textured black fruit notes supported by a firm backbone of acidity and plush tannic structure. An insanely serious wine.

February 20, 2022 - Oh my is this gorgeous. Pure and lush, with a beautiful, ebullient bouqet that had me guessing Zin. The plump, bright palate feels more noble though, its broad blueberry velvet and its luxardo cherry density are lifted with open-armed spice, spearmint, and floral notes. The tannins more polished than the moderately sandy ones you sometimes find in Argentinian versions. Youth looks good on this. Drink now - 2026.

January 20, 2022 - Wow. This is a special wine. A great experience. A Cabernet lovers Malbec. Evolved over 2-3 hours. Rich and Bold all while being a Malbec. Very smooth on the finish. Worth the hype IMO.
