Crème brûlée vanilla and a hint of leather on the nose. Brick burgundy in color. A bit, punchy wowing flavor of wood/leather/a touch of cigar with a touch of subdued aged red fruit (and is that butterscotch?), medium body and finish. The sum is greater than my attempt to describe. Singing right now, could still go a little longer in the cellar.

PNP: Tar, a little leather and phenolic mushroom field on the nose. A flavor of slight black and red fruits, a little creosote, mocha, and tar, very well blended and non one flavor dominates. Medium bodied but unctuous, with a long complex smoky finish. A lot of tertiary flavors I wouldn’t expect from a 7 year old wine, but I have not had many Malbecs of this age.

Sour cherry and cherry cola. Still has structure but is at, or slightly past peak. Drink em if you have em. Just wonderful.
