July 11, 2020 - The last of the Malbec's today. I was in happy with the prior 2. This one has some decent age and a more approachable fruit driven wine. Some blackberry fruit with sweet prune and then a slight grippy finish oh too familiar to Malbec. Perhaps more mushroom then fruit but nonetheless interesting and the best of the lot.

August 25, 2017 - Found a couple loitering in my recent stock check and was surprised by the improvement from 85pts from my 2013 (score only) note. Mellow blackberry and hedge fruit flavours with integrated grainy tannins and even a touch of truffle. Decent grip. Whilst lacking the overall intensity to take it to the excellent level, nonetheless very enjoyable.
Drink up soon. -
