  Pretty down the middle Malbec. I remember trying this some 5-6 years ago when it really did express the grape variety and terroir, but this expression has unfortunately faded away. Now it just tastes like a generic red, nothing overly exciting.

  23.20.2021: Very neutral, closed impression. Not aggressively closed but not giving much away either. Dark fruit, cooked or dried, strong alcohol impression, some blood related aromas. Back in the fridge, to try tomorrow.

  Big juicy Malbec. Drink now. Fruity and forward.
  
  Nose is classic for Malbec--some oak, violets, earth, and a bit of crushed berries. Palate is juicy and bright, lots of blueberry and bright cherries. The finish is characterized by fruity tannins that are slightly chewy and a bit of acid. Altogether, my palate is salivating and I'm reaching for another sip.

  Smooth beauty. Dark fruit and mocha cocoa. Lively rich and soft. Some pepper and orange zest in the finish. Frankly impressed.
