"The opaque purple-colored 2006 Malbec was aged for 12 months in 70% French oak, 20% new, and 30% new American oak. The aromatic array displays toasty black cherry, black raspberry, and violet notes leading to a smooth-textured, layered, rich wine bordering on opulence. It manages to achieve this while retaining an elegant, light-on-its-feet personality. On the palate, spice notes and a hint of chocolate emerge. There is enough structure for the wine to evolve . . ."
