4th Saturday Group: Uptown Brown Bag (M&R's): Single blind. Down to the last two and I still wasn't entirely sure which was the malbec. Deep inky color showing no age (the cork looked like that of a new release). dark fruit dominates, and there's a hint of brett adding a nice funk on the back end. Plummy dark fruit on the palate with medium tannins and a long finish. Really well-balanced, with loads of fruit. I think I heard a couple of tasters say that this was their favorite in the flight.

Moderne stil. Meget mørk i farven. Man skulle ikke tro at den var 11 år. Mørke bær (blommer) og masser af fad i duften. Led lidt længere og der findes møørk chokolade og lakrids. Samtidig med den kontante stil er den meget elegant. Duften er tydelig men elegant. Samme med smagen. På toppen og vil være det lang tid endnu. Tror ikke den bliver meget bedre. Himmelsk.

This wine was dark and luscious. Great dark plum profile with a solid back bone and great mouthfeel. Strong hints of dark chocolate and some mocha on finish. A great steak wine.

Inky dark color. You can smell it from 10 feet away. Cool climate nose. Lots of oak. Licorice, menthol, oak, and blackberry fruit. Big big big but with a classy long dry finish.

Seems to have gone a bit closed at this point. Still excellent, but will wait a year or so on remaining bottles.
