Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 10, 2012 - This is an interesting Tempranillo/Malbec/Merlot blend from Argentina which still offers lots of fruit and spices. It is trying to combine old world tempranillo spices and fresh acidity with the sweetness of sun-burned Mendoza Malbec, but to be honest it doesnt't really work very well for my palate. Sweet and sour, spicy and soft and with a lot of alcohol on the nose. There is just too many things that don't go well together here. But you can tell that high quality grapes and very fine oak were used for this wine - its just the blending that went slightly wrong. Drink soon. - 87 points
