Musty nose, well integrated tannins with a fruity finish. Probably on the decline at this point. The juicy finish makes it a 'good drink' , others have commented on the barnyard smell. Does seem to disapate with airing. Appearence (5/5), Nose (8/15), Taste and Finish (14/20), Potential (6/10)

Last bottle. This is a inexpensive Hobbs selection and has aged well. The fruit and tannins were still solid. A good value.

Good fruit. A decent malbec and certainly very good for the price.

Good not great as an Argentine Malbec. Great color. Nice nose. Smooth, pretty much from start to finsih, but with limited complexity.

Nice modern-style malbec - abundant fruit with somewhat muted secondary notes of chocolate or mocha, well-rounded and pleasant to drink.
