plums,coffee, chocolate, toast, wood scented, vanilla, fullbodied, ripe and strong tannins, still development potential for the next 5 years, long finish, but little bit one dimensional, aftertaste dark berries plum marmelade, drank it in the winery with susanna balbo, very pitoresque setting

Drank at the same time as a 2011. Both were good in their own ways. The 2011 was much more fruit forward. The 2008 seemed to have more depth - more earthy tones but tamer tannins. Very enjoyable either way.

Really in a good place right now. Overdelivered and better than I expected.

I really enjoyed this Malbec. We had this in the cellar for about a year and broke it out for a dinner party.
