Occasional Wine Note: Wow! This is a fantastic Malbec. Don't bother putting the cork back in as this one's like a bag of potato chips; you cannot just have 1. Dark color is met with dark fruit, but a soft pretty nose. Big tannin, but well structured and balanced. It all combines brilliantly with a finish that leaves you wanting another sip.

Critic Score: 96
Deep blue and black fruit here, with floral, spicy and balsamic accents. Brooding and complex. You have to fathom the power of tannin on the palate, as the texture is so ultra-fine and polished. But don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of tannins here, only so seamless that they make it taste so effortless. Naturally concentrated, juicy and long.
