"88 pts ... Superripe aromas of plum, mocha and chocolate, with hints of tar, molasses and raisin. Lush, broad and fine-grained but not overly sweet, with very ripe plum, chocolate liqueur and spicecake flavors and obviously high alcohol. Best for fans of wines just short of roasted and raisiny (the label says 16% alcohol!). Finishes with substantial building tannins and hints of mocha and menthol, plus a saline nuance that reminded me of an Australian shiraz made from desiccated grapes. You've been warned." -- 01/08 Winemaker's Notes
"100% Malbec from 60-year old vines. Very dense dark colour. Crystallized grapes on the nose, very marked blackcurrant, peppery floral, fairly smooth. Full, fleshy mouthfeel, with the aromas from the nose and a soft, delicately spicy finish. 16% alc." | |
