Missing the usual fruit of a Malbec -- even a Cahors. Seemed a bit "hot" too me -- and burnt fruit overtones.

Unexpectedly good—perfumy, sweet herbs, lots of dark fruit—plums, cassis. Still young on the palate with tons of tannin.

This wine, a beautiful dark garnet with sediments, is extremely good. Just about as good as my belated picture of it is bad, in point of fact. Will go hunt down another bottle (or two!) soon.

One of those untamable ones. Vigourous attack even after resting a bit in the glass...

Less fruit than an Argentinian Malbec. Strong tannins even after 5 years. Very good with steak!

Nose of blackberry, some smokey and leathery flavors, balanced tannins with acidity. Some violets, good oak notes. Great earthy Malbec overall.
