Served blind. A full, rich nose of sweeter cab fruit with tobacco, bell pepper and herbs. Big, even massive, on the palate with rich red fruits. Could have used a bit more tannic backbone to carry the fruit, but tasty none-the-less. I was convinced this was young Napa cab. Shocked to see it was a 20+ year old Malbec.

This was obviously a beautiful vintage in Mendoza. Late in its life, this is elegant and fully resolved. Wish I could have drank a bottle 6-8 years ago.
