  What a nice surprise! This is a bottle that got lost in the cellar and we thought it might be past its prime. Not at all - it was drinkingbvery well. Velvety and plush; still lots of fruit. Wish I had more.

  I opened this bottle to serve with homemade turkey chili, forgoing the Malbec option. Smart move. While there was a lot of alcohol on the initial taste, over time (several hours and the next 3 days) this wine got smoother, deeper and more velvety. Nice cassis, berry and mineral tones. However, the vineyard recommends laying it down longer, so I will save my second bottle for a few more years.
