Expert Reviews

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

(aged for 15 months in new French oak; 15.5% alcohol):  Bright full ruby.  Precise aromas of black fruits, violet, spices and pepper.  Dense, superripe and powerful, with obviously elevated alcohol but solid acidity to leaven the sweetness of the highly concentrated dark berry, chocolate and musky espresso flavors.  This very round, outsized malbec finishes with substantial palate-coating tannins and chocolatey oak tones.  Impressive wine for fans of the type.
