The region produces wonderful Malbecs.  85 year old vines usually produce great wines.  Unfortunately, this one is neither wonderful nor great.  There isn’t a lot of complexity and there isn’t any bounce to the step.  There is medium body, tight tannins and a ripeness to the finish.  

It’s still quite enjoyable, but we don’t feel the price is justified. 

We’ve had nicer wines from the region at a more reasonable price.  Maybe it needs more time in the bottle, or possibly it needs something carnavore-ish to be served with it to distract.
