This brilliant purple hued wine of great intensity and depth exudes personality with aromas of ripe plums, blackberries and a soft touch of vanilla and tobacco typical of aging in French oak barrels. With its complex mouth-feel, ripe red berry appeal and sweet tannins characteristic of this variety, the Salentein Malbec 2004 is a well-structured wine of balanced acidity and a long finish. This wine will age nicely for seven years.

good now & even a few years from now. bucks the new world grapes/countries can't be kept - may hold true for some but utter bull shit when it comes to this one, & I'm sure many others but I can only try so many....
