backstage in Irvine. nice — 9 years ago
2012 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 2 hours and after 3 hours. Seemingly simple nose. Light-medium body. Come together-right now-from start to finish. Cocoa powder, cedar, blueberries, tobacco and graphite all figure prominently throughout. Well-knit and pretty damned close to the top of the bell curve along with the backstage pass in the optimal drinking "zone." Not the biggest Pauillac or vintage but firing on all cylinders. Seems like it'll hold tight in this spot with the wheels crimped to curb and the parking brake on for 7-10 years. Grab you some before it decides to drive away. — 2 years ago

It’s like a battle of the bands because this Malbec jams. Jammy, but not sweet, lingering encore. Get your backstage pass! — 5 years ago
Totally great when you are drunk and confused backstage at a European venue — 8 years ago

Lacking a bit on the front but good middle to back pallet. Especially for a Oakville cab. It's still very good but I always have high expectations for Oakville — 8 days ago
