Like many Argentinean wines made under the watchful eye of Paul Hobbs, this Malbec proves seductive because of its enticing soft, supple texture. If it lacks the grip or weight of the best South American reds, it surely compensates by being so sensuous and, yes, sexy on the palate. While it might well age successfully, there is absolutely no reason to wait to open it.
