Opened the bottle at the table, decanted immediately, and consumed over the next two hours. Tight initially, but quickly opened up and put us both into a hedonistic trance. Nose was initially overpowering to the point that it put me back in my chair, and with the first taste (almost intoxicating), we entered into a state of nirvana. A week later the taste still lingers. To describe the complexity challenges my vocabulary more than my senses -- this wine is hypnotizing, and sexy as hell! |

4/22/2008 - reveldude wrote: 95 pointsWe bought a bottle of this in Buenos Aires at a wine shop called "Terroir". We asked for something that was ready for immediate consumption. It was excellent! Could have benefitted from a little breathing ortime in bottle, but my wife and I both thought it was amazing -- complex, full-bodied, firm structure lingering luxururiously and almost endlessly on the palate -- uniquely Argentine in character to boot. |
