Drank over two nights (argon gas between). Benefits from at least 1 hour decant. Amazing depth of colour. Ripe plum and fruitcake. Still drinking very well - I’m coming to think that the malbec brings the youthfulness. It might be at its peak or just past, but it will degrade very slowly, if at all, over the next 5 years.

Holy cow this is a great wine! Enjoyed with Michelle at The Modern, NYC. Benefitted from 2 hour decant. Amazing texture and complexity. Late entry limits comments.

looked quite raisiny on the nose. In the mouth it had ripe plum and berry fruit flavours. There was some licorice and plenty of iron. It was so deep, dense and youthful. Still incredibly primary and will need at least another decade or two in the cellar.

Dumplings and some nice bottles: Cocoa, blackcurrant, dust and spice. Good tannin structure here, it isn't obtrusive at all. Well poised and still has plenty of years of great drinking ahead.

Deep red, well balanced wine with tight but not overbearing acids. Good fruit, the malbec filling out the palate, good finish, will continue to age. Good drinking, not the classic big oz red, something better in my view.
