2011 vintage. Disappointing given the 92 points advertised. Would not buy again

Malbec was something I was into over 5 years ago but now it seems I'm finding more that I really like. A little earthy on the end pretty but mostly berry and warmth all around. This was drastically marked down from the original price. I hear it was around $80 and now it's $22 but at that price it's on point, kind of a steal. Bonus smile points for that!

This Malbec notes that Parker offered this it a 92 rating. It is actually part of the label. I promise those wishing to try this wine that they will meet with heavy tannins, which will not abate for years; but in any event, this Malbec is not (and will never evolve into) a superior wine. 2010 year. Paid 17.00

2010: One trick pony right now - but should improve with time - cab like qualities

2017 vintage was solid. Great with charcuterie. For the price not a bad choice.

2011. 12 years old. Not bad for price. Not a 92 like Robert Parker awarded.
