11/26/2015 - Zweder wrote: 81 pointsMonthly Tasting Group LTB 2015-08; Argentina (By GWL): Quite aromatic bouquet with flowers, candy and citronella/lemon balm. On the palate flowers and candy flavors again, some sweetness, lemon acidity and a touch of bitterness. Special and overall not really pleasant, but nothing wrong with it. |

The bouquet is quite mature with yellow tropical fruits like apricots. On the palate apricots and honey, some citrus and reductive impressions. Not really bad, but nothing special either. |

2/8/2016 - Zweder wrote: 91 pointsWeekly tasting group #203; Cahors and a few pirates from Argentina (@ SB): Beautiful and lush bouquet with dark berries, toast, herbs, sweet spices and some tobacco. On the palate dark forest fruits, some red berries as well, licorice, asphalt/tar, chocolate and a firm dose of vanilla from the oak. A touch of sweetness, but also good acidity and round but firm tannin. Good length. Beautiful and typically a New World (and Parker) style of wine. 90 - 91 for this evening and it will improve with ageing. At its peak between 2021 and 2024+? |

2/8/2016 - Zweder wrote: 87 pointsWeekly tasting group #203; Cahors and a few pirates from Argentina (@ SB): The bouquet is still a bit locked, but really pleasant with some dark berries and cherries. On the palate quite full bodied and firm with creamy dark berries, herbs and spices, some chocolate, oak, fresh acidity and slightly sticky tannin. In a year (or 2) from now probably a bit more open. |

On the palate dark forest fruits, sweet spices and vanilla. Mild acidity and round tannin with a firm bite. Overall a full bodied wine. At this moment still too young and one-dimensional. It will benefit with some more ageing. Between 2017 and 2019? For now 86+. |

10/12/2015 - Zweder wrote: 85 pointsWeekly tasting group #188; Fully blind test plus 3 extra wines (@ DJ): Purple red. Cherries and red berries in the creamy and lactic bouquet. On the palate cherries as well, a lot of sweetness and also ok acidity. Soft tannin. Imho the wine lacks some bite to be interesting, but maybe time will help a bit. For now a correct, easy going and youthful wine. |

On the palate juicy red fruits, some oak, firm acidity and slightly sticky tannin. Quite basic and compared to the other wines in the flight, this was the least interesting.
