Not a general appreciator of Malbec, I really liked this one. Smoother than the typical gritty nature of Malbec. Vanilla. Black fruit. Stayed on the mid-palate.

Spicy, jammy, red/black fruit, lush on palate. Touch of tannin that lingers. Alcohol is clunky.

Un vino delicioso, con una nariz penetrante a frutos azules y negros, en boca confirma dichos frutos y se le agrega un spyce que nos recuerda a pimienta, un vino divertido y elegante.

Drinking the 2011 in 2017. Cherry, pepper and oak nose. Very clear dark burgundy color with excellent clarity. Thin legs that quickly dissipate. Rich flavor full of dark fruit, pepper and oak. Complex wine! Low tannins to finish. Will pair nicely with rib eye!
