Overripe, stinky and hot. French oak doesn't save it so far. Brett fest too. Not great.

inky, generous dark fruit profile, clearly old vine material - decent cut & polish, just a bit innocuous for me. Malbec is ubiquitous in ARG but the wines often lack complexity & terroir IMO

Like a Bordeaux in terms of complexity and presence. Great French oak taste on the finish. Bright fresh crushed stone fruits. High altitude! Woman winemaker- Elizabeth Bordin.

What a good Malbec! Deep purple color, aromas of plums, blackberries, cocoa and tabaco. Tannins were rounded and long finish. Age well.

Old vine malbec - smoky and oaky notes help to balance the sweet overripe-ness, but the wine is still somewhat one dimensional. Still a nice surprise on the first try though.

Smooth, dry but not too dry. Great as a table wine
