Good depth. Goes well with fatty meats and sharp cheese.

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.

Serving temperature seems to be important.

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."
