Lower alcohol at %13.5 but not green at all. Nice high toned red fruit.

Taut, lean, and bright, with a lightly bitter edge.

This 2006 Notre Vin HM is probably one of my favorite NV ever made. Denis Malbec really made this wine to go the distance. The nose is still very fresh, with elegant round plush tannis and his signature bright acidity. This wine has hardly a wrinkle in it, I can see it see it age for decades.

Reminds me more of a fine Bordeaux than a Cal cab

Lots of structure. It could use several more years to soften.

2010 a beautiful bottle of Napa cab in tribute to all the people suffering with these fires and to sadly the late Dennis Malbec. A great bottle bright red fruits earth and biting tannin structure. I'm hoping this will age gracefully.
