Rich jammy smokey... but I bit too unidirectional for me. I expect more at this price. Tannins are too soft to expect this wine to benefit from more than 2 years.

Pretty nose with spice and raspberry/bl cherry fruit; perfumed and silky on the palate with a bright finish and serious structure underneath. Would love to taste again in a few years when the oak integrates. This and the Piatelli convince me that I've not given Argentine malbecs their due.

Utterly delicious, I've never enjoyed a Malbec more than this one. Very dark, pleasant nose, terrific 'in your face' flavor, bold but well integrated tannins, great mouthfeel, long finish

If someone is doubting the potential quality of Malbec, this is the wine I serve them. It is a superb example of Argentine Malbec.
Purple color. Blueberry cream nose. More blueberry cream on the palate but add vanilla and black plum. This is quite luscious. Nice long finish - coating the palate.

A brooding nose of dark fruit and spice, dark black in color. A full bodied Malbec, with cassis, plum, black cherry, chocolate on finish, a bit disjointed.

Love the color and texture. Dark rich fruit with a little bitterness in the finish but still very enjoyable. Not a ton of tanins. This was a gift but I would buy based on the community average value.

I was quite dissapointed with this wine. Not that it was "bad", but I went in with high expectations and finished dissapointed. A lot flabbier, less dynamic and rich than I had expected. I would have another glass, but I wouldn't buy this again.

Big wine with dark fruit and decent structure. Enjoyable but also simplistic with a short finish. Not bad for the price point.

QPR as this is a big wine with a nice long medium tannin finish. Probably the heaviest bottle I've ever opened.

Bright, sweet fruit. Fairly viscous. Has some pleasant herbal notes and good balance. Medium finish.

This is a lovely wine that shows immense promise. However, new oak totally dominates the wine. Give it 4 years.

Disappointed given RP's 93 assessment; not nearly as full bodied as I had hoped

Smooth with dark fruit flavored and light tannin tone. I liked it. First bottle for us. Went well with pork loin and a spivey rub.

Ripe plum, cherries, and dark fruit. Sweet with fruitcake spices balanced off by good tannins. Good, but a bit over priced at what I paid ($25).

Spicy aromas of plum and black currant with a short sweetness behind.. good body and well preformed tail. good wine for its money.
