95 Points

Tuesday, February 7, 2017 - Delicious, young, affordable Argentine Malbec from Winemaker with impeccable provenance. Dark. Blackberry, tobacco nose. Vigorous, dark fruit, spice, cinnamon and a hint of pepper on the palate with smooth, integrated tannins mostly in the background. The fruit is robust but not exuberant. Satin on the palate. Long, delicious finish. Typical of excellent mountain fruit except that the tannins are more restrained. Outstanding by itself but also food friendly. This should age reasonably well (I'm guessing @ 10 years) but I'm not sure I'll ever know. Simply too tempting to delay gratification. At this QPR, this is among the best "daily drinkers" I've ever found. Ditto for the '14 Tapiz Cab. Both are outstanding.
