I was trying to get the 2004 vintage of this wine which wasn't available anymore so I ended up getting a case of this one. It is worth it and I really enjoyed this vintage as well. If you like Malbecs give this one a try.

I really liked this wine and when I went back to get a case it was no longer available. I ended up having to get the 2005. If you can find this one, get it.

I shouldn't have tried this wine while having a cold. Sadly my nose is not working and my taste buds are broken. I could only say that what I could smell was a little sweetness which was nice and it did taste fine. My cold is finally waning so I'll have another taste.
