I’ve had this one in my collection for a while now and it has softened nicely. The 2006 is in the stores now and seems to have a similar rating. It is a lovely smooth Malbec, absolutely varietal. It has a medium finish. The wine itself is a lovely dark color with a nice bouquet. For the price this wine is a good deal! Run out and grab some of the 2006!
