This Malbec is smooth with a nice berry finish. Cherry on the nose, but light.

Big and jammy, full bodied and spicy but a bit tight. Nice mouthfeel and easy to drink with or without food. Would be great with a bold cheese.

Soft, easy drinking and lovely. However, not at all a classical tannic, leathery, flat iron steak wine. Lovely

Good soft red, simple smooth, with little aftertaste.

Simple well-balanced Malbec. Subtle fruity undertones, but not too sweet. Might be good with steak or other meat, but a little plain on its own.

Here’s your argument for cellaring value-priced new world reds in #magnum bottles. Got this from #wsjwineclub fairly recently after release and put it in the bottom of my wine fridge and forgot about it. This weekend a family get-together gave an opportunity to open this #patagonia #malbec. After sitting a while and later in the weekend it started to really stretch out. Plush blackberry, plum, spiced vanilla nose. Lip-smacking acidity on the palate is balanced by lush fruit, sweet vanilla, some coffee notes and peppery spice on the finish with supple tannins rounding things out. Bonus - cool tartrate crystals on the bottom of the cork.

Very nice and balanced fruit, light tannin structure. Very easy drinking. Christmas gift from Carmen.

2012. Cherry berry liquor and peppery aromas, sweet fruit and dusty leather flavors, short and mildly drying finish. Drank better with dinner than on its own.
