  This is a brilliant wine, purchased from Garagiste in 2011. My 4th bottle of 4. Purchased at $23 USD.
  I always keep the original offers from Garagiste so I can read them years later, when drinking the wine. This offer was spot-on, describing the beautiful structure and earthiness of this aged Malbec from Argentina. So atypical, almost Bordeaux-like, with spice and tobacco leaf ahead of ripe-but-perfectly-dosed plum and black cherry fruit. No wood, this is a beautiful and transparent wine, with perfectly balanced acidity giving this relatively big wine wine freshness and energy. The finish is getting a bit shorter than 2.5 years ago, but the wine is just great. What a value. Drink now, it's in a perfect place.

  Cork in bad shape; wine wasn't tainted though.
