Deep cherry, wet leather and bark on the nose. A bushel of black cherry, fruit stem, cola, and a smokey, dark cocoa finish. Bottle-rested about 10 years so far, and just about at its peak. It's a bold and surly nightclub bouncer, but fluent in 3 languages and stuffed in black tie.

Still tight after all these years. Bright fruit, heavy, still some tannins.

Love these Achaval-Ferrer Malbec blends. This vintage a bit ripe but rich and peppery. Have every year from '06. Another vertical oppty!

Medium tannin, high acid. Subtle nose. Good with meat.
