For sure the best Malbec I have ever tasted, concentrated and powerfully serious but the feel was velvety and not clunky with oak. Really a lovely wine- thanks for sharing Casey!

Très surpris à la première gorgée, m’attendait à qqch de gros, dense mais non cette cuvée est plus sur la finesse, une couleur gamay issh, en bouche fraises acidulées, 5 épices, semble disjoint. Un style différent, j’ai du plonger mon nez plusieurs fois dans le verre pour me décider si j’aimais ou pas. Pas mauvais, pas spectaculaire, perso j’en rachèterais pas

Ruby core and pink slightly watery rim, young looking for a 11 year old wine. Comes across as quite elegant and reserved , there is a cool blackberry , yellow plum note, ripe and balanced fruit . Slightly floral also. Black pepper notes too. The acidity is quite marked , the tannins are there but ripe, but there whole impression is of a balanced wine ready for drinking but that will last for a few more years no problem. Length is reasonable , though not hugely long. Overall comes across as more elegant and feminine than expected .
