  September 2, 2016 - The 2008 Grand Reserva Malbec is simply delicious, mouth watering, aromatic, and possesses structural but soft tannins. This is the best value Malbec I have had the pleasure to share; and rivals wine that costs $60+ and more... it just needed time to mature. it was wonderful a couple of years ago, and better now. Served with Pork chops this evening, and a great hit... will likely be this good+ for a few more years.

  April 25, 2012 - Dark, full-bodied. Lush ripe fruit - plums, blackberry - and palate-coating body, great balance w/ a touch of oak and a tad sweet. Lingering finish... One of my favorite Malbecs for several years.

  December 1, 2011 - Preferred this to the FM Patagonia Barrel Selection that we had the night before. Good red fruit and very smooth finish. I will buy again.

  November 14, 2011 - Deep, almost black in color. Vibrant nose w/ blackberries, herbs, plum. Black plum, cherry, vanilla, touch of spice in the mouth. Med-full bodied, soft tannins. Similar to 2007, a real knock-out.
