  Caught a metallic note which just threw everything off slightly otherwise a decent basic Malbec

  Deep purple colour.
  Smooth, medium bodied with taste of plums, blackberries and subtle hint of oat - well integrated. Not a bit jammy or harsh, as I find many Malbec from Argentina can be.

  Better than last bottle tasted 18 months ago, more on par with previous vintages.

  Ordered off a list on a business trip to Atlanta.
  
  This is very drinkable right now. I think my palate is the opposite of most Malbec drinkers in the US, though. To wit, I didn't find this "jammy" in the least; and to me that is a GOOD THING!
  
  Pours a very Malbec-ish deep purple. Ripe berries and ripe plums - but again, not jammy, not even over ripe. Chalk, cocoa powder, smoked wood and a hint of vanilla. The oak is very well integrated on this. Medium body with medium - tannin which shows typicity to me. My biggest complaint is that the flavors are a tad muted. Drink now!
  
  Perfectly acceptable pairing with a grilled skirt steak.

  I am usually a fan of Susana Balbo Malbec but this bottle was just OK. The fruit lacked precision and definition, giving a muddled impression.
