The 2000 Malbec has a mouth-watering, sweet, blackberry, black cherry, perfume, and rose-scented nose. Loads of flowers, spices, tar, and dark fruits are intermingled with touches of cigar tobacco in this well-structured, medium-bodied wine. It reveals copious quantities of ripe tannins in its firm yet flavorful finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2006. It is an excellent value.
