  Big and bold still. Needs time and aeration. Great balance, drinks harmoniously. Commanding and you can understand the price point. World class stuff.

  Decanted 2 hours. It has dark cherries and blueberry that are well defined. The palate has a dense entry with ripe blackberry and boysenberry fruit laced with crushed stone and graphite. The finish is long. This was a really good example of Argentinian Malbec, better of many I have tried in the past some of which are too sweet. This one is a serious Malbec, with many years ahead and drinking great now

  Beautiful wine...simply amazing!!
  Nez parfumé de liqueur aux bleuets et de notes florales, d'épices, de sous-bois, ainsi que des notes végétales (herbe, foin)...très complexe ! Un vin fruité, rond, ample, aux tannins poussiéreux et aux saveurs de bleuets confits et de tabac. Très longue persistance aromatique...sur une pointe de chocolat noir. L'harmonie parfaite !

  natural cork in very good shape. deep purple color, powerful nose with dark chocolate, black fruit, mocha, cedar and licorice. So fruity and juicy in mouth, tasting of ripe plum and black cherries. Somewhat mineral. Tannins are smooth, showing medium acidity and a long finish. Beautiful.
  
  edit: oh, yeah, sediment!

  Lovely soft tannins. Still young. Perfect balance. Classic Argentinian malbec. Just lacks complexity.
