Sur son plateau. Assez tertiaire au nez: sous-bois, champignons, En bouche le fruit est présent, mais se révèle sous un meilleur jour avec le Tomahawk! Presque plus de bois, aucune vanille (ni épice d'ailleurs..) Très bel assemblage du meilleur coin de l'Argentine (Uco) et d'un millésime magnifique..

Consumed over 2 days (vacuvined), note from day 2. Nose: Medium expressiveness, dark fruit - black raspberry and plum, brush, Asian spice, and charcoal. Palate: Medium-full bodied, red and black fruit attack, tobacco and spice dominate the mid-palate, excellent balance and flavor persistence from front to back. Finish: Medium-plus length dominated by spicy dark fruit and earthiness. This wine is peaking at the moment, don't see it getting any better.

Consumed over 2 days (vacuvined), note from day 2. Nose: Medium expressiveness, milk chocolate, eucalyptus, vanilla, with blue and black fruit undertones. Palate: Medium-full bodied, black berry, plum, and Asian spice attack, good mid-palate persistence and acidic balance, back-end shows ripe dark fruit and chocolate. Finish: Medium length dominated by spicy dark fruit. Drinking very well at the moment looking at 1-3 year window to drink up.

First off, this is quite the war club. Really heavy bottle. Popped and poured. Dark berry fruit with some blueberry notes, hint of smoke, some charred oak and vanilla. Similar flavors on the palate with a very rich fruit palate coating mouthfeel. Medium acid and tannins with a touch of over ripe fruit and chocolate on the finish. Tasty wine and solid for the sale price paid but came across a bit sloppy. I would probably drink up if holding …

A nose of dark fruits and some spice, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied red blend with black cherry, currants, blueberry, with chocolate and some spice on finish, an interesting wine, decant, very heavy bottle. www.winelx.com

Deep, dark purple color. Blackberry comes forward on nose and on palate. Tannins present, but in check. Some oak on finish. From Dad's cellar at Keuka.

Dark and extracted with lots of black licorice and tobacco to go along with the blackberry and cassis fruit. Not a fruit bomb, but a flavor bomb for sure.

Beautiful color. Flavors are rather simple with a big blackberry forwardness (is that a word). Has some structure so it might evolve but I'm not sold at this point.

Smooth but a little on the bland side. With aging could be some improvement.

Gift from Cary at the wine tasting at my house. Nice nose, midpalate was tobacco and dark fruits, finished nicer than a typical Malbec. Would probably faired better had I decanted it longer.

Popped 1 hour before first pour, consumed over 4 hours. Nose: Tart red fruit - pomegranate and cranberry, cinnamon, black pepper, and brown sugar. Palate: Medium plus bodied, nice balance, subtle flavors of cranberry and cinnamon up front that intesify towards the back end and dominate a medium length finish.

Soft with light tannins. Smooth with sweetness on the nose. Very drinkable now!

Really nice bottle, primarily malbec and it shows it. Alcohol @14.5 doesn't present a probl.

This was fantastic! Great nose with some dark fruit and earthiness. Nice smooth flavor felt with a decent finish. I wish I bought more then just 4 bottle.

Ripe and rich, loaded with raspberry jam, chocolate, loam and fig reduction. Muscular and mouth-coating with a layer of round juicy tannins. The finish is not overwhelming but it is very smooth and friendly. This Malbec blend is very easy to like and can be paired with heavy beef dishes or drank on its own. (Drink 2010 - 2015) - JD91

Very simple wine. Dark purple and inky with light toast, chalk and boysenberry. Weighty mouthfeel that didn't deliver in the finish.

V.I,P. Argentina Tasting (Farpointe Cellar) : The nose had black fruit and leather, toast, and a little chocolate. The palate had loads of chocolate mixed with dark, dark fruit. It also had grilled meat and spice.
