Vintage 2016 - This is an interesting wine. Raspberries in smell. Very vivid, very slim, high acidity, also cedar. But altogether (I tasted blind) I thought it to be rather untypical for Malbec. It had the fruitiness and characteristics of Cru de Beaujolais 😳

Dark cherries and smooth tannins. Probably wouldn't buy it again.

For a ten year old wine (drank in 2014), I was expecting it to be past its prime but it was amazing! Still fruity and balanced. Wow

Incredible, rich, creamy, no harshness at all. Ten years old and still fantastic, at its prime!
