  This wine is all about deliciousness. I don’t think it is fair representation of what Malbec usually is but that is of no consequence because it is just so good. On the nose it’s all red fruit - cherry and currant. The alcohol is prominent but it really seems to be part of the personality. Sweet baking spices and a bit of mint. The mouthfeel is fantastic - lush, velvety, sexy. The wine is plush and giving - big flavors of macerated red currant and ripe, ripe raspberry. A spiced fruit finish with a refreshing mouth-watering acidity on the end evolving into a lengthy earthiness. Exceptional experience. Truly sorry this was my last of these as it was the best showing.

  Opened about 4 days ago and didn't think much of it. Didn't have much character and drank like a thin overproduced Malbec. Put the cork back in it and didn't think about it. Was planning on dumping but decided to give it a taste to see if it was fit to be used for Sunday gravy. To my surprise, this was pretty damn good. The nose had some funk mixed with toasted oak which I liked . The palate is much more nuanced with dark berries, cigar ash, and black currant. Finish is strong. Perhaps this just needs another decade in the cellar or a serious decant to fully show its capabilities. I am happy I decided not to dump it.

  A bold nose of dark fruit and spices, purple in color. A full bodied red, with black cherry, plum, cocoa and spice on a very long finish. Was delicious, in a perfect drinking zone. www.winelx.com

  Popped and poured. Dark crimson color. Nose of ripe black fruits, toasty oak with a bit of coffee coming through. Slight hint of heat coming through on the nose as well. Ripe blackberry and black cherry on the palate with sweet oak notes. Medium- acid, smooth mouthfeel. A very tasty wine but missing a little structure for me.

  Brought to restaurant so didn't take detailed notes. This was very good, but after about an hour there was overbearing oak coming through.
