Credit where it's due, this was fucking delicious. Great fruit, balance, silky tannins.

Had been holding this for a while and thoroughly enjoyed last night. Full of berry fruit with hint of leather on the nose, medium tannins on palate and a medium long finish. Worth having again if you can get it.

Intense dark ripe fruit aromas with hints of violet and anise. Well balanced wine (fruit, wood and acid). On the palate a great dance of ripe plum, cola, vanilla and mint. Long fruit forward finish with defined elegant tannins. DELICIOSO!

Had 2011 and loved it! Definitely decant- for an hour or so. Black fruit, modest alcohol, long finish and distinctive flavor. I call this better than many Argentina Malbecs.
