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

Dark ruby/purple color. Aromas of blueberries, chocolate and coffee. Blueberry fruit flavors are complimented by hints of Asian spices, dark chocolate, figs, plums and black cherries. Slight note of blood/iodine on the long lasting finish. Medium bodied, solid balance and silky tannins. Thanks for sharing, Matt A.

A very pleasant Malbec that went awesome with some properly marinated beef. Excellent balance with a mildly spicy meal!
