A little more restrained than prior Tikal bottles we have bought, but it was smooth and elegant, meaty, fruity without it being an in your face fruit bomb. Went down very easy and even though lighter, quite good depth and finish. A regular for us each vintage, this one is a DRINK NOW.

Second bottle after about 9 months, nice development. Raspberry and smoke on the nose. Very nice balance, raspberry, leather, smooth, little acidity, low tannins, cocoa, long finish.

Raspberry and cocoa on the nose. Full body, with a touch of spice and balanced acidity.

Textbook malbec. Meaty, toasty, big dark berry fruits, round when it needed to be, fine length. Like a dry American zin from a cool vintage.
Had with flap meat, chimichurri and yuca fries. Served well enough in getting to the South American feel we wanted. ($27 - Binny's)
