Dark purple in color, with blackberry and spice on a potent bouquet. The palate is ripe and pure, with rich dark fruit flavors and oak-driven chocolate notes. Finishes full, toasty, peppery and smooth. Very nice and sturdy Malbec for everyday drinking. ——M.S.(5/1/2011)—— 88

Concentrated, with plenty of aromatic richness and dark fruit aromas of blackberry and cassis. The palate features proper extraction and weight, with forceful, powered-up flavors of wild berry and toast. Solid on the finish, with good ending weight and legs.——M.S.(8/1/2010)—— 87
