On the chewy side, with a raisined edge to the plum, coffee, dark toast and fig paste notes. The muscular finish comes off a bit heavy in the end. This was the better of two bottles. Drink now through 2009. 600 cases imported. 87 points James Molesworth, Wine Spectator May 15, 2008.
The 2004 Malbec Reserva Estate is dark ruby in color with cedar, earth, and blackberry notes. Firm on the palate, with good balance, it has ample ripe fruit and enough structure to drink well for 5-7 years. A good value. 87 points Wine Advocate # 174 Dec 2007.A polished, modern style, with creamy layers of mocha and spice covering almost exotically ripe plum and blackberry fruit. Long, plush finish pumps out more of the same.
