Beautiful dense glass-staining dark color, still ruby red and plummy purple!
In the mouth, this has gorgeous fruit (black cherry, blueberrypreserve, fresh brambles) mixed with grilled meats, resolved tannines and sufficiƫnt freshness.
Impressively youthful and vigorous for this 19 yo Malbec
This particular bottling has been very consistent in quality and a great bang for your bucks for more than 25 years now..

Great BBQ-wine. Of course. Black cherries, grilled meat, balsamic notes, earth and smoke.

Black fruit core, sweet tannines, mouthwatering hints of BBQed meat, black olives, balsam, smoked ham. Wonderful refreshing whiff of citrus peel and dito acidity provide freshness and balance.
Will match tonights' steak fajitas perfectly, me thinks! :o)
