Really looked forward to this bottle after 2 hours of decanting. Lacked complexity and the four of us were just not yearning for that next sip. Enjoyed other vintages of this legendary label much more. Will pull one from the cellar next year and try again.

Untouchable first hour (rough and almost a metallic taste) and then started to open up nicely with hints Black currant, clove and a touch of cinnamon. Modestly fruit forward which is fine by me. This still needs some time. Will wait one year and it should be good to go.

One of the best malbecs I've had in a while. Purple color and a touch of chocolate / coffee aroma. Medium to full body and lingering favors. Just an overall great value here and it's ready to drink, cheers
