Very purple and expressive, with charred barrel aromas that border on burnt. Fortunately, the fruit below is quite healthy, but besides oozing blueberry and blackberry it’s not overly defined or regal. Put this Patagonian Malbec into the category of vibrant and interesting and you won’t be disappointed.——M.S.(5/1/2008)—— 88
