Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 26, 2021 - Really nice stuff. Didn't take detailed notes as it was enjoyed in a party setting.

Felt a lot like the "typical" inexpensive Argentine Malbec with plump, palate-staining purple fruits and some noticeable oak, with gentle, pretty vanilla. I don't think I got much beyond the fruit and oak- however, I was really impressed with the *delivery* of the wine, which to me felt extra elegant compared to many of its competitors and showing excellent balance. The fruit was by far the star of the show, the oak only playing a perfect background role- more than enough acidity, more of a warming winter wine but not ever close to flabby- solid tannic heft but extremely fine-grained and powdery, even with such a young vintage.

Small chance I'm overrating this a touch- I'd love to compare it more mindfully to mainstays like Catena. To me this felt somewhat simple, but also very well-made.
