Deep gold in color. Apricot cobbler, ginger, ripe peach, and petrol on the nose. The palate presents apricot liquor, flint, orange liqueur, white pepper, ginger, cinnamon, clove, dried stone fruit, and lemon. Medium bodied, medium alcohol, medium acid, and a long complex finish. This wine is at its prime at 13 years old. A fascinating wine. — 4 months ago

Leave out at least one hour before consuming. Deep, intense, brooding Malbec consisting of dark plum and prune. Best consumed with steak. — 11 days ago
