91 points from the Wine Enthusiast: "A stacked wine with deep fruit on the nose as well as notes of orange peel and graham cracker. With its lush palate of sweet blackberry and plum flavors, this pours on the stoutness that Argentine Malbec is known for. A real-deal wine with size and balance. Maybe the best Broquel Malbec to date." (11/09) And, according to Wine Spectator: "Racy dark raspberry ganache and boysenberry notes are laced with fig cake and graphite. Toasty, but stays fresh. Very solid. Drink now." (11/09) Trapiche's "Broquel" bottling is its best value proposition. For a ten spot and four dollar bills, you get a very representative Malbec that is both satisfyingly rich and fruity, but structured as well. Boysenberry, blackberry, plum and pumpkin bread aromas are effusive. While the wine has seen 15 months of oak aging, there is still plenty of fresh fruit, with balanced acidity, fleshy bing cherry flavors, and a finish that hangs on the palate. There is very little not to like about this solid value red. (Joe Manekin, K&L South American wine buyer)
