Some dark cassis but beautiful red fruits shine more in the 09. Asian spice, sweet tar, hint of nutmeg, stronger minerals, saw dust, red florals. The finish is not as long or smooth as the 04, 05, 06, 07, 08.

A few years has turned this into smokey herbal pepper juice with well integrated tannins. Slightly lighter on the palate than I expected, yet quite a powerful punch.

Delicious Malbec. Nice structure without any distracting flavors or excessive tannins.
