  A solid wine, nice change of pace, but there are many other $100 wines that are more memorable. Not sure what I paid for it.

  We opened and let sit for an hour or so which was not really enough time as the wine progressively improved over the evening. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was dark berries, tobacco, leather and hints of wood which appeared in the moderately long finish. Lots of sediment in this bottle so I would suggest a decant or a soiree.

  Drinking very well.Almost exactly what I thought this wine could be when we bought it at the winery in 2011.

  My favorite style of Malbec is aged and from high altitude. This from 90 yr old vines. Aged 15 months in new French oak. 980 cases. blackberry leather plum tobacco coffee baking spice . This bottle was a little more tired than the ones I tried previously.

  A wonderful Malbec from a wonderful producer, one of my favorite. This is one of their 3 single vineyard Malbecs. Blackberry, leather, blueberry, smoke. Very smooth, tannins very relaxed. Has lost a little of it's vibrancy of youth but makes up for it with those tertiary flavors of maturity, kinda like me. 😉
