This wine was a surprise turnaround at our Argentinean Malbec tasting. Upon tasting his first glass, one taster exclaimed, "That's revolting!" He was referring to the barnyard aroma that dominated the nose of this wine for a solid hour. I was in complete agreement. But after an hour, it opened up nicely and was quite a beautiful tasting wine. I bought two bottles to try again ina a year or two, though I night keep one longer...

Color: strikingly deep purple; nose: BBQ; blueberries, lacked any real finish, complexity.

$12, a wine club selection at The Wine Steward. Somewhat monolithic, not bad with steak.
