    January 31, 2015 - Quite good PQR but time to drink up now.

    April 11, 2011 - Not complex, but enjoyable as a quaff with ham sandwiches. Lots of ripe fruit, but no acid to speak of. No real nose, either. Medium finish. $12 is about right for this.

    March 25, 2011 - Dark red color, on nose many red berries and coffee notes on the background. Was decanted for half an hour which improved the nose and the taste. Strong but round and with a long finish.

    February 26, 2011 - Dark ripe fruit, chocolate, tobacco in a firm tannic structure. Nice!

    January 29, 2011 - Deep dark purple red color. On the nose I get cherry and strawberry and lots of chocolate with more than a hint of oak on the end. On the palate I get more cherry and raspberry and on the mid palate some nice chocolate. On the finish there is a noticeable oakiness finishing with descent tannins. The mouth feel of this wine is thick and juicy and the finish lingers but I just cant get past that oak. I do like this wine and for the price its good. Fruity and juicy but just a little too much wood.

    (Urban Uco Malbec-Tempranillo) #2; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-a little fake; cherry cola; a little cinnamon action; rose petal; solid strawberry juice; PALATE-comes across very candied and artificial to me; like melted down Skittles; has some darkness to it; like chocolate covered cherries that I don't like; quite sweet; JM-90; GV-80
