The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Blackberry, Red Currant, and Clove. It tastes like Blackberry, Red Currant, Cinnamon, and Clove. The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Medium to Long.
Very nice wine... was terrific with our steak. Getting close to being past prime.... we let it decant for ~ 45 minutes... that helped it greatly. My last bottle... :-(

Just opened yesterday.. even though past the window, it's held up nicely. Very full-bodied, and complex... only moderate finish. Was decanted for ~ 30 minutes before drinking.

I think this is right now a bit more balanced than the Malbec same vintage, Malbec had a bit more complexity and could age a bit better. Less tannic and less persistent than the Malbec.

PnP w/15 minutes glass time. A very nice wine, beutifully structured and well balanced. Good drinking window, nothing off. $18

Light vanilla on nose. Blackcurrant fruit, light tannin. Bottle age giving good balance.
