Really enjoyable Malbec. Ripe blueberry with some nice oak that does not overpower. Delicious. — 11 years ago
For the price point, this Big Dog can definitely hunt! Soft pepper and smooth tannins, slight black cherry make this a winner with Ferrero Rocher and House of Lies. — 11 years ago

I highly recommend decanting. This wine is majestic. It really evolves. At first uptight and no nonsense. It plays hard to get. Then over time it begins to come into its own acknowledging black fruit and currants then whispering some bell pepper and finally just sighing with a hint of and I mean just a hint of smoke. — 10 years ago

Intense raspberry on the nose with hints of smoke. Amazed how time has tamed this wine. Rich and lush red fruit this has successfully transformed itself. Reverberated in every nook and cranny of my mouth Carries its alcohol effortlessly. Last of 3 bottles and this one was head and shoulders better than the previous 2. — 10 years ago
