Pascual Toso

During thankstaking leftover turkey stew, an associate of mine and co-host for the evening W. D. Allen offered me a glass of (I think previously uncorked) Pascual Toso malbec. 100% malbec that is, 2007 from "las Barracas" estate of the Maipu region, Argentina. (I am naturally too classy to have enquired of my host the price but may ammend this post in the future.)



The nose on this beauty has deep black cherry and even coffee if you wait for it. CLASSY. I figured by the smell it might taste a bit tannicky but lo: dry and smooth as silk. This can't be cheap but worth the probable splurge. An absolute pleasure.
