Double decanted and consumed over the next couple of hours. From reading previous reviews, it's amazing how radically different our interpretation of this wine. Instead, I found a gorgeous wine of dark fruit, mocha and pepper finishing with firm tannins. A perfect marriage.

The wine has a short finish with fruit on the tongue and somewhat light texture. Paired with roast chicken, nice complement but the wine wasn't overly impressive.

Normally I love Hestan wines and Malbecs but I really didn't like this one. The most prominent taste was pepper but it was the lingering aftertaste that ruined it for me. I tried this cold, serving temperature and room temperature. I also tried it aerated, decanted and any other way I could think of. Then I tried it the next day and with a neighbor and still a hearty thumbs down from the both of us. Even tried with different food combos. It just was one of the worst wines I have tried in years.
