the 2006 Don Cristobal 1492 Malbec Punta Pays was the first one, before realizing it was only one out of two offerings. so then i had the 2006 Cristobal Oak Reserve, yet i preferred the 1492 for it's structure and less reliance on big juicy fruit. i'm an old school malbec guy i think, i enjoyed the gascon stuff with it's bigger tannins versus trapiche (sp?) which seemed to veer towards fruity and soft.
