  Cork and bottle seemed in good shape but sensed it may hav been overheated at some point. Colour lovely, but not a lot on the nose, but this could be due to my ongoing COVID nose! Slight tannins and some acidity. Berry and plumb favours on the palate at first, but these got less as the wine opened up. Drank out over two days and quite difficult to place, but still very enjoyable. A bottle to drink now I would suggest, and have one more to go.

  This bottle was well over the hill. Muted in all respects, very little fruit, no tannins. Like drinking a ghost.

  Tannins almost non-existent. Berry flavors on the palate. Low acidity. A bottle to drink now.

  superb wine - served several bottles of this fantastic Malbec - it flowed easily and fast over dinner as we drank and toasted the resistance of the Ukrainians to the invaders from the East!!!!
