Tried this again at a Malbec blind tasting. Black cherry color. Also a lot of black cherry and cherry cola stuff on the nose and in the mouth. Nice fruit flavors even after all the aging. Some smoke too. It’s actually aged beautifully and I think was at a peak. Nice stuff.

Deep purple, ‘smoke on the water’ color. Smells berry-liciious and gravelly. Flavors are less dynamic than the nose, but pretty interesting and pleasing. Some tar. Some pepper. Some tobacco. And ripe black Bing cherries. Just the slightest hint of that grape kool aide element that dominates the cheap Argentine stuff. It’s intriguing wine if a bit New World style with the fruitiness and hint of oak in there. I’m still trying to sort out this Malbec thing. I like this one more than most cheapies I’ve had, but not as much as the other WA one I tried a few years ago. Keep it coming WA. I think you and Malbec have a future.
