Beautiful color. Dark berries and vanilla on the nose. Oaky. Well balanced. Very smooth. Seemed like optimal time to be drunk starts now. Wish I had another bottle.

Had the 2020 in December of 2022. A typical WSJ wine. Definitely some dark fruits, with an oaky sweetness. Nothing spectacular but not terrible either. I hate Malbec on it’s own but this grape is always okay as long as it is blended with something else. Hubby enjoyed it more than I did. He says his rating would be a little higher🙂

"This waxed bat reserve has a deep red purple color, with ripe blackberry, black currant and plum characteristics, and a touch of smoky vanilla gleaned from the time an oak. Well rounded with velvety tannins and a long, layered finish."
