A good wine produced from old vines, very smoky rich, an oaky wine that either need to settle in the cellar for a few years or to enjoy right away with a bloody grilled rare Côte de Boeuf 😀

Intense, impressive and big but a nice elegant Malbec - evolving kindly with soft and round tannins - a great wine for meat lovers for sure - from vines over 80 years old in Vistalba and Las Compuertas & aged in French oak for 12 months

We bought this at Costco. The color was magnificent, the Bouquet even and full. The tannins are there but very smooth. The BlackBerries are there too as is a very mild liquorish taste on the finish. We loved it.

Equally great as the 2008. Younger but with a lot of potential to age.

Dense rich black fruit, anise, fennel and peaty notes. Rich body full of iron and herbs. Good match w/ BBQ.
