i feel this has improved and in some ways more balance than my last note. there were chocalate/cocoa notes but a bit of alcoholic bitterness on the back end.

As always, after five years a good Malbec example. Ruby colour. Typical nose: petals of rose, black pepper and ginger. Tobacco. Meaty. On palate, smooth and clean. Lovely bitter aftertaste. Medium finish. Food lover. This was not as much basic as I supossed.
Como siempre, después de cinco años un buen Malbec. Color Rubí. Nariz típica: pétalos de rosa, pimienta negra y jengibre. Tabaco. Cárnico.En el paladar, suave y limpio. Estupendo postgusto amargo. Final medio. Amante de la comida. Este no era tan básico como yo suponía.

Fairly dark red in color. Musty oak & earth tones on the nose. More ripe & plush on the palate than the `04. Whereas the latter displayed notes of expresso & bitter-sweet chocolate, here the dominant flavor is tart bing cherries. Soft, but pleasantly drying tannins show through on the back. Neither an austere food wine, nor an over-the-top fruit bomb. Good stuff. [13.5% a.b.v.; $14.50].
