Deep reddish purple. Abundant nose of black raspberry and anise. Medium-bodied, fruit-forward palate confirms the nose adding tarry patent leather. Medium plus acidity and fuzzy medium tannins wrap it all up into a pleasant enough pairing for light carnivore fare (a shaved brisket sandwich is my current choice), though I’d look elsewhere — Cahors, perhaps? — for a substantive companion to heartier meals or cigars. Drink up if you have this vintage.

Spicy, smooth, and just plain good.

Hands down my favorite Malbec. 2010 was exceptional, however more recent vintages still don't disappoint. Highly recommend.
