88 / B
Tasted by Mike Supple - 13 May 2008
Dark core with a thin purple rim. Chocolate and caramel with light blackberry, flint and a faint earth and spicy herb aromas. Lush fruit on the palate entry with just a hint of spicy herbs. Good balancing acid with a rich, chocolaty finish.

Dark core with a pink and purple rim. Liquid caramel around a thick dark core of black fruits with a cedar spice aroma. A bit thin on the front palate, but builds in body on the mid-palate with nice acid. Sweet cherry and lots of floral notes. Spicy and silky with great balance. Long finish.

Dark purple core with a fuchsia rim. Lots of purple fruit aromas. A touch of oak over blackberry, plum, grapes [yeah yeah, wine is made of grapes, but this is a fresh juicy grape aroma], and a hint of leather and smoke. Smooth entry onto the palate. Medium bodied with lots of spice. A bit overblown - big fruit flavors, lots of extraction, jammy and full. Good acid on the back. Fans of huge Australian Shiraz will like this quite a bit. For the money though, I have had several other Malbec based blends with better balance.
