Rusty in color, with a mildly mulchy, leafy nose that’s also slightly floral and smells of orange peel. Zesty in the mouth, with a lean profile and tart flavors of red cherry, plum and herbs.

Smells like corn and a burning hay field, and the palate has little to no fruit left. The mouthfeel is wet and grabby, while the finish is bready then turns bitter. On its last legs; wait for 2010.

Stalky and green smelling, with tobacco and stemmy fruit aromas. The palate is scratchy and stewy, with soupy flavors of tomato and raspberry. Herbal on the deficient finish.

Prickly red-fruit aromas open the show, and after that it’s briary. The palate delivers a choppy feel along with herbal, briary fruit flavors and earthy soupiness. Finishes with some burn, but overall it’s still a decent, drinkable wine.

Weak and brambly smelling, with mustardy aromas along with leathery red-fruit scents. The palate is astringent, with tomato, basil and stewed berry flavors. Finishes in similar fashion.

It’s not often that you get the chance to try an aged Malbec for this price. The nose is sweet but also a bit soupy, while the palate is lively and delivering mature flavors of stewed cherry, cassis and raisin. Long on the finish, with brown sugar notes. A wine with finesse and restraint to drink now.

Earthy and spicy on the nose, with tomato and raisin but also some herbal green, which is likely attributable to the 50% Cabernet in this Malbec-CS blend. Tame on the palate, with tomatoey notes and dry raspberry flavors. Simple and pleasant but more herbal and less exciting that Gradum’s straight ’05 Malbec.
