  A very pleasant change and happy to have. Decanted and it need some time to breathe. Then the Malbec comes through. Very long finish. Not something to drink every day.

  Drank this after a Schweiger Merlot and it didn't hold up quite as well. It was much harsher on the palette. A bit more jumbled - perhaps wine had not had enough time to come together but the wood was overly dominant here. Not a bad wine, just appeared a bit less in comparison. Would in retrospect have given it a few more years.

  If I were to describe this wine in one word it would be juicy. There is so much fruit here it's frankly shocking. What's even more interesting is how the wine really balances all that fruit with more savory elements and just enough back end structure to keep it from toppling over on itself. This is fun wine.
