[SAN PABLO-Single Vineyard] Blind tasted futures, still in barrel but got a sneak peak. Spicy aromas, like dipping your nose in a pepper grinder. Tannins firm and chalky, a touch on the green side. Finish is lingering. As it warms, spice shows through. Can't wait to see how it turns out in bottle.

On a second tasting, beautiful aromas of chocolate, cherries and thyme. The flavour was as soft as cherry juice. Delicious with any meat - it coped with spicy merguez.

Very dense and dark wine with a lot of blueberries in the nose and on the palate, still young but accessible with a little bit too much Alkohol, deep, quite long finish for such a young wine. Developing good with air. Give it a few years and it might be a great wine

Attractive nose, chocolate and cherries. It tastes as it smells with fine tannins. Already good!

In the midst of fortified study. This wine though provides a great upfront blueberry and blackberry combo, smooth, silky tannins, plenty of acidity. Velvet mouthful and well structured with alcohol. Very enjoyable and easy to drink.

Spicy and warm with delicate oak. Great with steak or on its own.

Typical Malbec, rounded fruit with welcome oak overtones. Paired with Steak but was disappointed with the shoe leather that came out. Wine good, steak poor!
