Two and a half hour decant time, this is a big, robust malbec that carries chocolate, blackberry and red licorice in both the nose and the palate. Moderate tannins hold up the big body of this wine well, with a long finish with every sip.

Dinner at Rustique in Aspen, thanks to Shawn the sommelier. A very good modern wine, rich and well balanced with a deep mineral chocolate follow through.

Decanted for 90 minutes. Drank with a spicy pork tenderloin. It was an excellent pairing. Bold wine, excellent nose, very good. One of the better Argentinian wines I've had. Will definitely purchase more.

South or Sweet (Q2 wine party) (The Apartment): (Wine #8 - South America) Heavy blackberry, very young tasting, strong tannins, needs some more years to settle down (or maybe just a few hours in a decanter).

Purchased at a restaurant. Decanted about 15 minutes and a good Malbec maybe with too much vanilla oak flavors. Heavy weight.
