Really love how this wine opened up. Initial aromas of pine needle and eucalyptus. Dark purple in color almost opaque. Evolved to beautiful blueberry pie with silky tongue coating tannins. Lovely wine! — 10 years ago

From Haystack Rock Vineyard, perched 2,200 feet above sea level, within the heart of the Atlas Peak AVA. High altitude combined with poor, shallow soils creates vine stress, and in the case of this complex and alluring 2012 Malbec, yields firm tannins, high acidity and pronounced minerality on the finish. Black cherries, blackberries and plums lend fleshiness and weight, and I am particularly taken with the earthier tones that shine through—underbrush, mesquite and a dusting of ash. 14.5% ABV | Sample — 10 years ago

8.9

Medium garnet color, bright like Ruby gem, smells of white truffle, Matutake mushroom, damped earth, pine needle, and smoked meat, tannin is completely resolved at this point, extremely smooth and round, tastes of strawberry, pomegranate, and cranberry, initially pronounced acidity with a citrus note, faded away after 30 min in the decanter, still plenty of fruit left, a pleasure to drink, medium to long lingering finish with a savory aftertaste. Yummy! — 11 years ago

9.2

Reviewed upon opening. Structured and firm still, yet a tad hot on the nose and palette with kirsch and anise flavors. Nice complements of herbal tea, mushroom, pine needle, underbrush with a charming balance with will likely take over with a little air time on the bottle. In a good place yet could go another 2-3 years nicely. Wonderful wine — 10 years ago

Sergio Licea

9.8

Blackberry compote, lingonberry, figs, white peppercorns, barnyard, haystack, graphite, balsamic, smoke. Beautiful finesse on rounded acidity/balanced by rustic dusty velvet tannin grip, medium bodied, silky texture, long smoky/peppery finish. Biodynamic blend of primarily Niellucciu, Syrah, Sciaccarellu. Successfully managed to be refined yet maintains its rusticity. Was a bit tight when tasted a year ago, drinking perfect right now. — 10 years ago

1937 Lafaurie-Peyraguey: seventy-eight years had nothing on this still-fresh show-stopper. Lucid amber color, tangy marmalade-tinged flavor, medium-weight that is not tiring to drink at all. Threads the needle with perfect balance of honeyed intensity and bright acidity. One of the best ‪#‎Sauternes‬ ever to grace these lips. The perfect ‪#‎wine‬ when the wolves of life are howling outside your door. — 11 years ago
