Broquel Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Like oak? This Malbec is for you. Super oak nuances are highlighted by brambly fruits and solid, gripping tannins. Nice long finish with a touch of vanilla.

Great nose. No follow through. Diluted fruit and no finish. This is the second bottle of the '11 vintage I have had--same result.

Deep purple in color with a purplish rim (still).
What a great nose on this 5 year old Malbec, of blackberries, vanilla, coke, blueberries, figs, raisins, licorice, chocolate, coffee, leather, light alcohol and peppercorn.
Full-bodied, bold, velvety and smooth with long legs and medium acidity.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blueberries, blackberries, cherries, cloves, cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolate, espresso, dark chocolates, spices and lots of black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and peppercorn.
This wine aged beautifully. Balanced and smooth, with complexity and nuances that were not there only a couple of years ago.
Probably at its peak right now, so drink up.
The grapes were hand picked, and aged in oak barrels for 15 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

This 4 year old, is Still keeping its dark inky color with a purple rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, black currants, smoke, tar, vanilla, wood, licorice, earth, spices and peppercorn.
Full-bodied and smooth, with medium plus acidity and great long legs.
Bone dry on the palate and not as fruity as the nose, with blackberries, figs, plums, cola, tobacco, black currants, wood, vanilla, licorice, dirt, spices and black pepper.
Nice finish with elegant, round tannins and peppercorn.
Great Malbec that is drinking well now. Much more elegant than last year. Paired it with Parmesan cheese and red apples.
Needs an hour in a decanter to open up properly.
Hand harvested and aged for 15 months in oak barrels.
90 points Wine Spectator.

Very smooth and easy to drink. This is our first Malbec and would like to try more. Not sweet, but no "burn" either. Not too dry.
We had this just after dinner.
