Pop and pour. A brilliant dark magenta color. On the nose: restrained notes of red fruit, vanilla, earth, herbs, and smoke. Taste: strawberry/raspberry, baking spice, dark chocolate, saline, minerals, with a medium finish. Blend of cab franc,cab sav, petit verdot, malbec, tempranillo, ancellotta from Ecuador. Never had Ecuador wines, but while here will need to taste through some. This was a nice easy to drink start. — a year ago

A 6 region blend, deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits, spice and dried herbal and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blueberry and blackberry with licorice and pepper oak. Fine grainy tannins, lively acidity, medium(+) finish ending with fruit, subtle oak and savory spice. Nice! — 5 years ago
We recently pulled some cases out of storage, which haven't seen the light of day for nearly 15 years, so I'll have some fun posts in the next several months.
Nose has split oak firewood (barely seasoned), cigar box, moist cedar shavings, blackberry, dried black currant, dried roses, fresh violets, moist leather, dried lavender dark chocolate powder and graphite pencil shavings.
Palate has chocolate covered blackberry, tarry black cherry, cedar sawdust, dark chocolate bark, prune, anise candy, clay pot and leather. Very long finish, subtle tannins exist still, amazing wine!
Cork pulled, 2h rest, then decanted 6h, a perfect bottle, still young, future bottles may be 2023-30, without concern.

This Malbec dominant Bordeaux blend from Mendoza, Argentina offers a full body with notes of black pepper, plum, and blackberry. It has smooth, developed tannins with a medium finish. This wine paired beautifully with steak. — 3 months ago
From vines planted in 1921. Deep ruby colored, the nose reveals pronouned aromas of fresh blueberries, blackberries, black plums, ink, graphite, mint as well as vanilla, cedar wood and dark chocolate. The full bodied palate is packed with ripe and smooth tannins, high fruit concentration and refreshing acidity. Quite bold and muscular, leaving a long aftertaste. Drink now until 2036. — 4 years ago

Very good Malbec, these guys make great wines. Deep violet in the glass with a nose of dark fruit, spice, vanilla, woodsmoke and liquorice. The palate is full of bitter chocolate covered cherries, blackberries and earl grey tea with some winter spice. Long finish, with some sweetness and a good balance of tannins and acidity. This is a big wine but it’s smooth and one of the best Malbec’s I’ve tasted. — 6 years ago

A Syrah from Mendoza...I had my doubts, but we were tasting some great wines at this winery, Malbec and Cab Franc. It is amazing what some of the wineries in Mendoza are doing with Cab Franc. Back to the Syrah, we didn’t taste it but they urged me to get it as they thought I be surprised. And I was! Given the heat and the stress in Mendoza I thought it be drinking more like a Shiraz. It didn’t. It was vibrant, full bodied, spicy and potent tannins that evolved in your mouth giving it great complexity. Dark unripe blackberry infused with pipe tobacco. — 5 years ago
