  Took several hours to open up. Cool nose of black pepper, plum, tobacco and leather. Dusty and slightly spicy on the palate. Challengingly grippy tannins. Not your run of the mill Malbec.

  Opened 2hrs prior to dinner and slow-oxed in btl and glass till dinner. Enjoyed but not rocked. The old vines from 1906 & 1030 intrigued me enough to buy one but didn't taste nor smell their impact. Needs time to integrate the oak and perhaps with another 5yrs in btl this may have a lot more to say. Tonight I got plenty of blackberry, chocolate and some spice. Nice wine but really not what I'm looking for. Paid $30. 14% Alc was not obtrusive.

  A beautiful expression of a warm weather Malbec. This wine has a very deep, dark nose, exuding plum and cardamom with a moderately peppery finish. Plenty of tannic complexity to carry the finish lands this wine easily in the 90+ category.
