Enjoyed after tennis with 8 people. All loved this wine even though relatively young (2011). The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and red currant.

Deep red color, with plenty of fruit nose and decent fruit taste. Also plenty of tannin in background. But little aftertaste and somewhat bland and disappointing. I might have expected more flavor for the price.

Dark purple. Smoke, blackberry, dark chocolate, some hints of cedar waft in and out of the glass. Full bodied with flavors of blackberry, currant, plum and a bit of dark chocolate. Sweet tannins and low-ish acidity.
This had been open for about 24 hrs prior to tasting.

Not decanted. Quite youthful and tannic. Clearly Malbec dominant, good ripe blackberry and loamy black currant/black plum. Plenty of acidity on the palate keeps it from being too flabby. Nice wine that should improve a bit with a year or two in the cellar. Drink 2015-2018.
