Lush and very expressive with mocha, crushed currant, plum sauce and fig paste notes that glide over the dense but velvety structure. Long and fleshy, with the fruit echoing nicely. Not shy at all, but nicely balanced. Drink now through 2010. 12,400 cases made, 6,000 cases imported.??–JM??Region: Argentina / Mendoza / Luján de Cuyo Select to Add

A big, intense Malbec with giant black fruit aromas that veer toward medicinal. The palate is sizable and sticky, with grabby tannins bulking up sweet, ripe blackberry flavors. Finishes with mocha and creamy vanilla flavors. Chewy, broad and on the money.——M.S.(12/1/2009)—— 90
