Very mellow at opening. Hints of raspberry, chocolate, and black pepper. Went well with smoked salmon, salami, and aged cheddar. A keeper. Saving my last bottle for 2021.

Needed an hour to settle down after pulling the cork. Tons of dark fruit and chocolate notes. I would guess this has at least several more years of cellaring in it. It would be interesting to taste this side-by-side with a mid-tier Argentinian Malbec.

Needs some time. I received a shipment earlier this year which I thought was stellar. For some reason this bottle did not reflect the prior 3 even though it is the same bottling.

Very harsh up front and young. Hoping that the wine might be suffering from bottle-shock. Keep it in the cellar for at least 6 months !
